Historical NoteReturn to Top
David T. Mason was born January 7, 1937 in Berkeley, California. His parents, Lucile (Roush) Mason and Herbert Mason were renowned botanical scientists and longtime faculty at the University of California, Berkeley and Davis. David T. Mason earned his Bachelor of Arts in biology at Reed College in 1958. In 1961, David received a Master of Arts degree in zoology at the University of California, at Davis, where he went on to complete a PhD in Limnology in 1966. Soon after receiving his doctorate, David became an associate professor of Biology at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington.
David integrated teaching and research with theatrical productions and creative writing. He was actively involved in producing and directing plays, and creating musical scores for countless Friends of Fairhaven Theater productions. He became especially well known for his performance art piece, "Blue Baroque."
As a much beloved professor at Fairhaven College, Mason taught a wide variety of inter-disciplinary classes including basic biology and ecology theory and practice. Among the very few publicly 'out' gay male teachers in the mid 1960s, David also created one of the first gay and lesbian studies classes in the Pacific Northwest. He was also well known for his theater courses and performances. Of particular note are his "Orpheo," "Dictionary" and "Opera" classes. David emphasized experiential learning. Classes such as the 'Lynden Recycling Project' helped increase awareness about the importance of recycling. Students in his gay studies class were invited to learn about gay culture by touring the local gay bar. 'The Course of the Stream' encouraged students to study natural habitats along rivers and streams in Whatcom County.
During the late 1960s through 1980s, David pursued various research and activist projects, and was awarded a Fulbright fellowship in 1973, which took him to Uruguay to pursue his environmental research. The Uruguay experience culminated in a series of traveling lectures and multimedia slideshows on environmental concerns which David presented to audiences as varied as learned biology scholars and school children. His sabbaticals and research trips took him mainly to the Alaskan arctic to study the effects of crude oil on natural habitats. His major research interests ranged from limnology studies of Mono Lake in California, and Antarctica, the impacts of sewage treatment and heavy metals on natural bodies of water in the arctic and the Pacific Northwest, and habitat studies along the lower Stehekin River, to ecological effects on plants and animals along the Nooksack River and Lake Abert in Oregon. He also studied the release of chemicals in Bellingham Bay by Georgia-Pacific mill. David produced numerous articles and research papers both published and unpublished for educational presentations and traveling multi-media slideshows.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The David T. Mason Papers reflect the varied interests and research pursuits of this beloved Fairhaven professor and include a small portion of materials relating to the lives of his parents, Lucille (Roush) and Herbert Mason.
Family and Personal papers contains correspondence, photographs and background information about Mason and his immediate family. The Mason and Roush family photographs date from approximately 1865 to the middle of the 1900s and document Herbert Mason's research expeditions to the arctic during the early 1900s, Yosemite National Park field school, Stanford and Berkeley, California, as well as a host of botanical and geological locations. This series documents his school and formative years, including his experimentation with LSD in the mid 1960s, teaching and scholarly pursuits, and ongoing contact with family, male and female lovers, and friends.
Records pertaining to Mason's education and career comprise the core of his collection, including samples of course materials (lectures and notes) from classes he taught at Western Washington University and at Fairhaven College from the 1970s through the 1990s. Course materials include a clippings file from Mason's Gay Studies class from the early 1970s, as well as handwritten lectures from popular and well-attended biology and ecology classes. Education and Career records also contains project notes, data, published, and unpublished research papers about various sites Mason explored including the Alaskan Arctic, Mono Lake and other sites in California, the Stehekin River in Whatcom County, Washington, and Georgia-Pacific mill among others as well as correspondence and reports from Mason's sabbaticals and Fulbright travels.
This collection also contains speeches, lectures, publications and letters of appreciation regarding Mason's popular and dynamic traveling multi-media slideshows. The collection contains scripts and musical compositions from Friends of Fairhaven Theater productions in which Mason played the vital roles of producer, director, actor and musician. Writings and Art contain samples of Mason's creative writing, drawings, musings, and include several one-of-a-kind local gay publications.
