Oregon State System
of Higher I:ducation
T HE Oregon State System of Higher Education, as or-ganized in 1932 by the State Board of Higher Educa-
tion following a Federal survey of higher education in Ore-
gon, includes all the state-supported institutions of higher
learning. The several institutions are now elements in an
articulated system, parts of an integrated whole. The educa-
tional program is so organized as to distribute as widely as
possible throughout the state the opportunities for general
education and to center on a particular campus specialized,
technical, and professional curricula closely related to one
another.
The institutions of the State System of Higher Education
are the University of Oregon at Eugene, Oregon State Col-
lege at Corvallis, the Oregon College of Education at Mon-
mouth, the Southern Oregon College of Education at Ash-
land, and the Eastern Oregon College of Education at La
Grande. The University of Oregon Medical School and the
University of Oregon Dental School are located in Portland.
Each of the five institutions provides the general studies
fundamental to a well-rounded education. At the three col- .
leges of education general and professional studies are com-
bined in the teacher-training curriculum; st\ldents who do
not plan to become elementary-school teachers may devote
their time exclusively to lower-division studies in the liberal
arts and sciences or (at Southern Oregon and Eastern Ore-
gon colleges of education) to approved lower-division pro-
grams in semiprofessional fields.
At the University and the State College two years of un-
specialized work in liberal arts and sciences are provided on
a parallel basis in the lower division. Major curricula, both
liberal and professional, are grouped on either campus in
accordance with the distinctive functions of the respective in-
stitutions in the unified State System of Higher Education.

18 1949 VANPORT SUMMER SESSION DESCRIPTION OF COURSES 19
General Information
Summer Session Program, 1949. The Vanport summer session offers fresh-
man and sophomore work in a wide variety of fields. Students without any previous
college work may begin their college program. Courses are offered which enable
these students to make up deficiencies in mathematics and English so that they can
carry a full credit program in the fall. There are also courses which enable those
who have had college work to complete sequences and make up deficiencies in re-
quired fields in order that they may take sophomore work in the fall. Courses
which cover a full year's credit are open to new and old students, enabling them to
complete one required sequence or to be ready for sophomore or junior work in that
subject. Students may carry a full or a partial load, the maximum load being 12
credit hours for the eight-week session.
Who May Enroll The summer session is open to all who think they could
profit from the work. High-school graduates and nongraduates are admitted to the
summer term.
Physical Plant. The administration building of the Oregon Shipbuilding Cor-
poration has been remodeled and equipped for college cl~ses. Excellent labora-
tories and classrooms have been provided. The building is easily accessible from all
parts of Portland and the surrounding area.
History. The Vanport Extension Center derives its name from its original
location in Vanport City, a Federal housing project immediately north of the Port-
land city limits. This project, including the college buildings, was destroyed by
flood on May 30, 1948. The U. S. Grant High School was used for the 1948 Sum-
mer Session. Classes were first held in the present Columbia Hall at Oregon Ship-
yard in September 1948.
Student Services. Guidance-The men's adviser and the women's adviser con-
sult with students on both educational and personal matters. Extracurricular Ac-
tivities-Picnics, parties, and excursions for all students are sponsored during the
summer. Opportunities for participating in dramatics, music, and other activities
will be made available.
Housing. No dormitories or housing projects are operated by the Center, but
a housing bureau is maintained to assist students in finding accommodations. A
number of students live in a trailer project one-half mile from the center, which is
operated by the Portland Housing Authority. '
Student Co-operative Store. This store provides textbooks, school supplies,
and other articles needed by the students. It is run on a nonprofit basis. Most of the
employees are students working on a part-time basis. This store is an example of
the initiative of Vanport students. I t'was started in the fall of 1946 as a food-buying
club. The store lost its stock in the flood but has paid all of its creditors.
Cafeteria. A cafeteria is operated for the convenience of the students. Hot
lunches, short orders, and soda fountain products are available.
Library.1'he library occupies the second floor, center wing, of Columbia Hall.
It provides a well-lighted reading room, seating two hundred. The periodical sub-
scription list contains nearly 150 titles. An excellent selection of current books is
available. The student body is entitled to the use of the public library facilities of
Multnomah County and also has access to special collections such as the Oregon
Historical Society library. The library is under the direction of a professional1i-
brarian and is open daily when classes are in session.
Assemblies. Every Tuesday from 10 :15 to 11 :00 there will be an assemblr in
the auditorium of Columbia Hall. The Tuesday morning schedule of class periods
will be adjusted as follows to allow for assembly hour:
8 o'clock classes _ 8 :00 to 8:40
9 o'clock classes ~ 8 :45 to 9 :25
10 0'clock classes........................................................................ 9 :30 to 10:10
11 o'clock classes _...................•.._ _ .11 :15 to 11 :55
Other class hours will remain the same.
Veterans'. Infonnation. All veterans who are planning to attend the Vanport
Extension Center are urged to make. prompt application to the Portland Vetera~s
Administration office for a CERTIFICATE of )i:I,IGUm,ITY AND ENTITI,EMENT. ThIS
certificate is essential for receiving any of the government education !>enefits. Stu-
dents who present their certificates will be able to r.egister 31nd to receIve books and
supplies at government expense und~r the G. I. BJ11 of RIghts. Tho~e who do not
present certificates must pay all theIr expenses. However, they may arrange for
reimbursement later when they secure their certificates. A considerable amount of
time elapses between application for a certificate and i~s issuance, so that pr~spec­
tive students should apply well in advance of the opening of the term they wIsh to
attend. .. . .. h'"
Any veteran who has used 'a CertIficate of Ehglblhty at anot er mstltutlOn
should request from the 'veterans Administration a supplemental certificate for use
at Vanport. . " .
The address of the Portland office of the Veterans Administration IS 208 S. W.
Fifth Avenue (telephone, ATwater 9131). A~p~icati~n for a cert!fi~te may be
made in person or by mail. The Veterans Admlnlstratl?n has a trammg ~cer at
the Vanport Extension Center at scheduled hours to adVIse veterans and assIst them
with their problems.
Portland Extension Center. The Portland Extension Center of the St~te
System of Higher Education offers many ~ndergraduate courses, some of ~hlch
are open to lower-division students. It is poSSIble for a student to take courses SImul-
taneously at the Portland and Vanport Extension C~nters. The Portlal}d Center
also gives graduate courses which are open t.o quahfied students. CopIes of the
catalog may be obtained from Portland ExtenSIOn Center, 220 S. W. Alder Street,
Portland 4, Oregon (telephone, ATwater 2165).
NONVETERANS ARE ADMlnED

age of nonveterans has increased tenfold since the opening of the Center. Over o~e
thousand nonveterans have registered as students during the past three academIC
years.
