3rning lil. Glen Dean of the School of Music. The School of Music offers some of the most pleasantly profitable work in the University. It includes, besides two lecture courses by the Dean, four depart- ments: Piano, Voice, Violin and Mandolin. Each of these is in direct charge of a competent artist, and the University has been justly proud of the success it has attained in this school. The musical ability of the Uni- versity students is best known to persons outside of the institution by the work of the various musical so- cieties, which receive their training under the Dean and the various in- structors, The Glee Club has made T itself and its institution know n ' throughout the state, largely through the help of Professor Glen. Though the Treble Clef is less widely known, it has furnished good training for the women of the University who could avail themselves of the op- portunity. The Eugene Oratorio Society has contributed much to musical culture by the study, every winter since its organization in 1896, of one or more of the standard ora- torios, including The Creation, St. Paul, The Messiah, The Redemp- tion, Elijah, Stabat Mater, and Hymn of Praise. Professor Glen has contributed his full share to all the success of the Univer- sity in musical matters, and, as Dean of this School, exercises a lively interest in the strengthening of his departments. 18

Srcbcrich 05. Lloung Dean of the Graduate School The Graduate School of the University of Oregon was organized to offer ad- vanced instruction upon the basis of work completed in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the College of Science and Engineering, and the School of Mines and Mining. Its purpose is threefold: to extend general culture, for which the Degree Master of Arts is granted: to encourage the mastery of a specialty, for which the degrees Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy and the vari- ous engineering degrees are grantedg and to provide for those who desire a more thorough acquaintance with particular subjects than is offered in undergraduate work, but who are not candidates for degrees. Since its organization the demand for the work has constantly increas- ed, thus attesting the wisdom of the faculty in establishing such a school. The advancement of the high schools throughout the state has relieved the University of all preparatory courses so that greater attention can be given to higher branches. This fact shows not only the growth of the University, as such, but also the devel- opment of the schools throughout the state. It is a source of satisfaction to her citizens, that Oregon has been able tor take up the work of the great eastern universities, and that there is, as the dean of this school, a man of untiring faithfulness to the highest interest of the state. 17

Cfbtvarb llinllistcr Dean of the School of Engineering. The School of Engineering is divided into three departments: Civil and lVlu- nicipal Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Chemical Engineering. The four years' course in the first department leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering, after which a post-senior year is offered leading to the degree of Civil Engineer. The course in Electrical Engineer- ing leads to the degree Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and is followed by a post-senior year upon the completion of which, the degree Electrical Engineer is granted. The third department, Chemical Engineering is a recent specialization demanded by men who would combine with the chemical theory necessary to understand the chemistry of technical processes, such knowledge of mechan- ical engineering that they may be able to construct whatever machinery or apparatus may be necessary for the practical application of chemical prin- ciples to the various industrial enter- prises of the time. E ln each of these departments origi- nal theses are required before the de- grees may be granted. These theses do much to promote a spirit of scientific investigation and to train the faculties for later original research that shall be of value to the state. The School of Engi- neering offers great advantages in equipment for satisfactory Work to young men inclined toward a scientific-industrial career, and is especially fitting in the Pacific Northwest where enormous resources are still awaiting development. 19
