Q03 THE ORE. GANA E3 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY THREE DEAN GILBERT DEAN BOVARD DEAN ALLEN College of Social Science The College of Social Science, which came into being by the action of the Board of Higher Education on March 7, 1932, is one of the three major divisions of the former Lib- eral Arts College. In addition to the departments of econ- omics, history, philosophy, political science and sociology which composed the Social Science Group, the depart- ments of psychology and geography were added, making a total of seven disciplines. The Oregon Survey of Higher Education and the Board recognized the vital relationship of psychology and geography to the social sciences, particularly economics, political science and sociology, and to Business Administration and Education. Dean james H. Gilbert, who heads this college, has been on the faculty of the University since 1917. School of Physical Education The purpose of the School of Physical Education is two- fold. Freshmen and sophomores are required to enroll in physical education courses, which consist of instruction in various physical skills, games and sports, and courses in per- sonal hygiene. Beyond this the school offers major curriculum for those who wish to continue physical education as a pro- iession as teachers of physical education, as playground or community recreation supervisors. The University Health Service is a department of this school. Besides giving medical care to the students, this department give instruction as to healthful ways of living. Dean john F. Bovard has been a member of the Uni- versity faculty since 1906, and has been dean since the school of Physical Education was established in 1920. School of journalism The School of journalism was saved in the reorganiza- tion of the schools and departments of the University last spring, mainly through the efforts of the newspapermen of the state. Their loyal support at this time indicates the high regard in which they hold the school and the success achieved in the training of journalists. The student enrolled in the School of journalism, which was established first as a department in 1912 and as a school in 1916, receives training in editorial work, the mechanics of publishing a paper, and in advertising. The students are furnished with a laboratory through the daily campus paper and the University press. Dean Eric W. Allen has been at the head of the school since it was founded, and was a member of the faculty since the department was established in 1912. 14
