REPORT
President Strand presented aspects of the "Anderson Report,"
particularly
the five chief recomnendations on element~~y
teacher educatio • He said he believed the State Board of
Higher Educatio would welcome an expression of the position
of the Oregon State College faculty.

with regard to rocedure and views •.
he meetings of october 8 and November 14,
d approved.
Questions and d·scussion brought out the fact that while it
was known that
he recommendations at first were parallel
in
applying to the three Colleges of Education, the Portland
State Extension Center" and Oregon state College" the final
recommendations discriminated against Oregon state College
in respect to s pporting majors in oumamt.aes and social
science.
Dean eran said that Oregon state C9llege already
had the courses that would permit such majors.
President
Strand said it should be noted that the institution
had re~
quested and obtJined t ese courses not for majors but as
service and liberaliz'
g c~urses for students majoring in
other fields.
rlean C lby said that no valid reason was
apparent for di~cr· . tion against Oregon state College and
he emphasized the need 'and usefulness of such majors in pro-
