Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oregon Agricultural College In these departments competent instructors to the number of ten, some of whom have won national distinction for pioneering service in their respective fields of work, are training students in the elements of those sciences that are taking a splendid grip on the problems of industrial and rural life. Rural organizations, rural credit, marketing, secretarial duties, expert accounting, and stenographic skill - these are all fields that are alive with promise, and keen in their call for youths of character and power. Courses in Engineering, which have always been a prominent feature of the combined Federal-State institutions, coordinate with courses in Agriculture and developing parallel with them, have for many years been a strong factor in the growth and usefulness of the College. The School of Engineering, in fact, has enlarged its field of study and intensified its opportunities for specialization as rapidly as the needs of the Pacific Northwest would warrant. Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering have been substantial fields of study at the College for many years, maintaining a high standard of scholarship and professional efficiency. Highway Engineering, a profession that has come into unusual prominence all over the country in recent years, is not only adequately established at the College, but because of the peculiar demand for highway work in a state where the rainfall is periodic as it is in Oregon, is making an aggressive and dynamic campaign for state-wide service in this field. Irrigation Engineering, including hydraulics, is still another field in which the College has received the call to do constructive service, a call that it is meeting by offering complete courses in this work under competent instruction. Industrial Arts, the sixth of the degree courses in Engineering, is a field of study which is attracting many young men of splendid talents who have in view to enter the wide field of industrial education in schools and colleges. Finally, Experimental Engineering, a service department which does not grant degrees, but which opens up a fascinating and useful field of study for all who are engaged in any department of Engineering, Mining, or Forestry, is supplied with a massive and superior equipment for efficient work and is manned by a corps of expert instructors. The School of Forestry offers courses leading to degrees in both forestry proper and logging engineering. The courses in this school are intensely practical, advantage being taken of the unrivaled opportunities afforded by the location of the College to become familiar with all the merchantable types of timber, with the methods of reforestation employed by the Federal government, the systems of trail building, fire protection, and general forest administration. Advantage is also taken of the State forest reserves on the Santiam river and elsewhere, as well as of the nearby logging operations, which are always accessible for class observation as well as for employment during vacations.
