, ROE T1-I I3 0 REGANA ss' NINETEEN HUNDRED THIR7i'Y THREL' University of Oregon Medical School The University of Oregon Medical School as all other departments and phases of the University and higher education faced a trying and dillicult year. Threatened for its very existence with proposed cuts in the state's budget for higher education, the med- ical school safely hurdled the proposal and is still one of the outstanding schools in the country. The institution claims for its setting a campus of one hundred and eighteen acres at an elevation of four hundred and fifty feet above the City of Portland. An investment of over two million five hundred thousand dollars is represented in this plant. Almost one-half of this amount has been acquired through gifts from individuals and foundations in recognition of the merit of the work done there. DEAN DILLEHUNT Recently two new divisions of the department of Medicine have been added to the or- anization thus further enlar in and ex andin the school. The division of Dental Medicine 5 1 . . was established to include the study and treatment of dental diseases as they are related to the medical conditions of patients, thus attempting to correlate treatment in medicine and dentistry. The division of Psychiatry of the Department of Medicine was established to in- clude a complete schedule of courses for medical students. The Outpatient Clinic of the Medical School which was enabled to be built by a gift of four hundred thousand dollars from the General Education Board of New York was occu- pied last year and meets the needs of the Medical school and the community. The University of Oregon Medical School is rapidly taking its place among the fore- most institutions of its kind in the country. With a splendid faculty headed by Dean Dille- hunt and Dr. Harold B. Myers, associate dean, the school is prepared to educate outstanding men for the profession of medicine. Each year approximately fifty or more students grad- uate from this school. An organized medical alumni association is also a feature of this de- partment. The University and the State of Oregon may well be proud of the medical school. It was less than fifty years ago that the Medical School started on its way. A small two roomed house in Portland was the first building and it was not until 1913 that a large tract of land was granted them on Marquam Hill. Gradually yet vigorously the school grew and developed until today it is one of the foremost schools of medicine in the country. Future prospects of further medical facilities include plans for a Psychiatric Hospital and a Tuberculosis Sanitarium to be built near the campus on land known as Sam jackson Park. This property was given to the Medical School in 1925 by the heirs of Sam Jackson. 30
