Historical Note
The Committee on High School Relations was formed in 1934 in response
to confusion among high school students in Oregon about academic and
degree programs at the Oregon State System of Higher Education (OSSHE)
institutions after the formation of OSSHE and reorganization of higher
education in Oregon in the early 1930s. E.B. Lemon, Oregon State College
Registrar, was chair of the committee and D.V. Poling was the High School
Visitor for the OSSHE during the 1930s and 1940s.
The Committee coordinated and administered contacts between the OSSHE
institutions and high schools and the recruitment of high school students
through visits to Oregon high schools, regional conferences, and the
offering of state scholarships.
