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

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

Simeon Qfbwaro josemphi Dean of the College of Medicine Dr. josephi has been at the head of this department of the University ever since it was organized in l887.' Unfortunately, because of the separation of the College of Medicine from the departments fl, I ga fn., ff, .F-T' ,V P-T 5'2-,'-i - 'E at Eugene, few students except those of the medical department have had the privilege of coming in Contact with Dr. josephi, who is a most pleasant and affa- ble man to meet. The work of the College of Medicine comprises a course of four years, lead- ing to the degree oi Doctor of Medicine. The location of the college in the metrop- olis of the state, enables the students to have the very best of professional in- struction. St. Vincent's and Good Sa- maritan Hospitals are located very close to the college. These hospitals, already established and in successful operation for many years, present excellent facili- ties for the study of diseases at the bed- side. Clinics, medical or surgical, are held every day of the week during the session. From year to year the efficiency of the college is growing, by additions to the faculty, and improvements in the laboratories. The faculty now consists of sixteen members, with fourteen special lecturers. The college will graduate this year a class of twenty-eight, and has a junior class of nineteen. The four years' pre-medical course given at Eugene is intended for those anticipating a course in medicine, and enables the student to graduate with the degree of M. D. after three years at Portland. 20
