The College of Science Records document the administrative activities of the College of Science at Oregon State University from its founding in 1932. The records include administrative records, biographical files for select faculty and staff of the college, correspondence, department histories, college publications, newspaper clippings, photographs, and microfilmed correspondence and reports. The College of Science was first established as the School of Science in 1932; it became the College of Science in 1973.
Materials from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital.
Historical Note:
Though Oregon State University’s (OSU) roots date back to the founding of the Corvallis Academy in 1856 and the collegiate-level courses offered by the Methodist-owned Corvallis College by 1865, it could be argued that the passage of the first Morrill Act is the true watershed moment in OSU’s history. Written by Representative Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont and signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, the Morrill Act provided each state with 30,000 acres of federal land for each member in their congressional delegation. The land was then sold by the states to raise funds to establish public colleges that focused on agriculture and the “mechanical arts” (considered a contemporary complement to the liberal arts, and typically including academic disciplines such as engineering). The teaching and study of the sciences has been a crucial component of Oregon State University's pedagogical foundation since its establishment, and has remained thus thoughout OSU's history.
In 1868, the Oregon Legislative Assembly designated Corvallis College the “Agricultural College of the State of Oregon,” and recipient of the land grant set forth in the Morrill Act (for Oregon, 90,000 acres). The curriculum of the College at the time included courses in Algebra, Geometry, Latin, Greek, Composition and Rhetoric, and Physiology. The Primary and Preparatory Departments – elementary and high school grades respectively – additionally offered classes in orthography (spelling), reading, penmanship, history, natural philosophy, astronomy, and book-keeping. Though it was “earnestly recommended” that students of the college complete the full complement of courses, if they chose students could omit the ancient languages and follow the “Scientific Course,” or track, completing all other courses. The same curriculum was available to women admitted to the college as to men; women were additionally offered courses in music, painting, and drawing. Three degrees were conferred to graduating students: a Bachelor of Science to those who completed the “Scientific Course;” a Bachelor of Arts to those who completed all courses offered, both “Classical” and “Scientific;” and a Master of Arts to students having completed a Bachelor of Art and who had, since graduation, been engaged in “some literary occupation and [who had] sustained a good moral character.”
As a land-grant school, Corvallis College was required to offer courses that met the conditions set out in the Morrill Act, specifically to “teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts…in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life.” The first “agricultural course,” or track, listed in the 1869-1870 academic catalog consisted of Chemistry and other science classes already being taught, including Geology and Mineralogy, Zoology, and Botany. Though the mechanical arts curriculum could not be organized in the 1870s due to “want of funds,” students could take related mathematics and physics courses.
In 1873, Corvallis State Agricultural College published its first agricultural research bulletin, designed to serve as a practical, educational circular for farmers and ranchers across the state, assisting them in putting into practice the research outcomes of the College. In 1887, the federal Hatch Act – named for Congressman William Hatch, Chair of the House Committee of Agriculture – provided federal funds to state land-grant colleges in order to create a series of agricultural experiment stations that would disseminate information regarding advances in agricultural technology and techniques, especially in the areas of soil minerals and plant growth. Oregon’s first agricultural experiment station was established just a year later. Oregon’s first branch experiment station was established in Union, Oregon in 1901.
The college's curriculum continued to expand alongside its reach. In 1889, the State Agricultural College of Oregon’s existing curriculum was reorganized into five tracks. Where once the College had offered just six classes, it now offered additional courses in English, Modern Language, History, Household Economy and Hygiene, Zoology and Entomology, Horticulture, Bookkeeping and Bee Culture, and Military Science and Tactics – all at the college level.
In 1908, President William Jasper Kerr, who assumed office in 1907, reorganized Oregon State Agricultural College’s (OSAC) academic programs, creating professional schools in agriculture, commerce, engineering and mechanic arts, and domestic science and art. Kerr continued to diversify OSAC’s curriculum throughout the 1910s, creating schools for forestry and mines in 1913, for pharmacy in 1917, and vocational education in 1918. The Division of Service Departments was also established in 1918 in order to provide “basic instruction in subjects that did not offer majors, but were nonetheless core to the curriculum.” Kerr’s expansion of OSAC’s curriculum, however, was viewed as a potential threat to the University of Oregon’s own academic offerings and enrollment. In an attempt to head off any further academic rivalry, the State Board of Higher Curricula (SBHC) was established in 1909 and given the authority to “determine the allocation and development of curricula” between the two Oregon colleges. With the SBHC’s assistance, OSAC’s function and mission were better defined; the Board continued to serve in this executive capacity until 1929.
Passage of the Oregon Unification Bill in 1929 placed OSAC – and all other state-supported institutions of higher education – under the purview of the newly formed Oregon State Board of Higher Education. The following year the Board implemented a survey of Oregon’s public higher education system. The resulting report recommended a massive restructuring of academic programs at all Oregon colleges, and the University of Oregon, to streamline curriculums and eliminate duplication. As part of this system-wide restructuring, the School of Science was established at Oregon State, and the School of Commerce was transferred to the University of Oregon. Humanities and social science courses at OSAC were limited to freshman- and sophomore-level classes, and consolidated into new, lower divisions. Though course work and degrees in Commerce eventually returned to Oregon State in 1945 in the form of a new School of Business and Technology, the School of Science has been a part of Oregon State University’s academic landscape ever since.
With the creation of the School of Science in 1932, the scope of science at OSAC was greatly expanded. The instruction provided in the sciences, however, has been and continues to be, an integral part of a liberal education at Oregon State. Believing all students require “some instruction in science,” the mission of the College of Science at its establishment was three-fold: to contribute to a well-rounded liberal arts education for all students; to provide “professional preparation” to those students intending to pursue a career in the “realms of science;” and to “provide basic and service courses for students majoring in some other field.” The School of Science provided coursework in eight “major curricula” when it was established: Bacteriology, Botany, Chemistry, Entomology, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, and Zoology. Bachelors and Master’s degrees in Art and Science, and a PhD program were offered. At the time of its founding, the School of Science boasted 55 faculty members, 180 sciences majors (including graduate students), and 2,500 students enrolled in science courses. The first Dean, Earl L. Packard (1932-1938), also served as the Head of the Department of Geology. Packard was followed by Francois A. Gilfillan (1938-1962), Vernon H. Cheldelin (1962-1965), John M. Ward (1966-1971) Robert W. Krauss (1973-1980), Thomas T. Sugihara (1981-1986), Frederick Horne (1986-2000), Sherman H. Bloomer (2000-2012), Sastry Pantula (2013-2017), and Roy Haggerty (2017- ). David B. Nicodemus (1965-1966), Theran D. Parsons (1971-1972, 1980-1981), and W. Lawrence Gates (1986-1987) served as Acting Deans of the College. In 1935, the first Ph.D. degrees were conferred to Herbert Jones, Karl Klemm, and Alfred Taylor (in Physics, Chemistry, and Zoology, respectively).
In February 1973, the School of Science became the College of Science. Then-President Robert MacVicar hoped the change to a more “traditional title of ‘college’ [would] assist in obtaining more adequate recognition for both units.” By 1981, the academic disciplines offered by the College of Science had nearly doubled. Coursework and majors were offered in fourteen departments: Atmospheric Sciences, Biochemistry and Biophysics, Botany and Plant Pathology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Entomology, General Science, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Microbiology, Physics, Statistics, and Zoology. As of 2019, the College of Science offers undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Biophysics, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, BioHealth Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Microbiology, Physics, and Zoology. Masters and Doctoral degrees are offered in Biochemistry and Biophysics, Integrative Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Microbiology, Physics, and Statistics.

Series 7, Photographs, has been further divided into six sub-series: Sub-series 1. Awards, 1964-1995; Sub-series 2. Departments and Programs, 1910-1990; and Sub-series 3. Events and Meetings, 1974-2005; Sub-series 4. Publications, 1925-1998; Sub-series 5. Spaces, circa 1900-1997; and Sub-series 6. Faculty, Staff, and Students, 1921-1999.
The College of Science Records document the administrative activities of the College of Science at Oregon State University from its founding in 1932. The records include administrative records, biographical files for select faculty and staff of the college, correspondence, department histories, college publications, newspaper clippings, photographs, and microfilmed correspondence and reports.
Series 1, Administrative Records, is further arranged into six sub-series: Sub-series 1. Advertising and Marketing, 1981-1996; Sub-series 2. Departments and Programs, 1965-1998; Sub-series 3. Meetings and Committees, 1958-1995; Sub-series 4. Reports and Studies, 1932-2001; Sub-series 5: Spaces and Space Allocation, 1962-2003; and Sub-series 6. Subject Files, 1956-2006. Included in this series are biennial reports from 1938 to 1972; course descriptions, syllabi, and approval forms for new and continuing courses in the Department of General Science; and records documenting the establishment and/or reorganization of programs within the college (e.g. Biology, Environmental Science). The Subject Files sub-series includes two folders concerning the Junior Engineers and Scientists Summer Institute (JESSI).
The Biographical Files in Series 2 include press releases, curriculum vitae, and journal and newspaper clippings documenting the professional / academic work of College of Science faculty and staff. The correspondence in Series 3 documents programs and degrees offered by the College; events, such as student orientation; professional organizations; spaces used by the College (e.g. Cordley Hall); and the work of past college Deans and faculty. This series includes biographical files for E. Dale Trout, Jane Lubchenco, Theran Parsons, and E. Dale Trout.
Series 4, Department Histories, is comprised of essays detailing the histories of various departments within the College of Science, as well as correspondence about the compilation of those histories.
The Publications in Series 5 include issues of The Science Record, the quarterly publication of the College of Science. Select issues of this publication have been digitized and are available online in Oregon Digital. Several departmental publications are also included in this series. The Publications series includes newsletters of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society. The OSU chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) is part of a national, nonprofit organization focused on "substantially increasing the representation of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, First Nations, and other Indigenous peoples of North America in science, technology, engineering, and math studies and careers".
Series 6, Newspaper Clippings, is comprised of newspaper clippings documenting the research of faculty, and general College of Science news.
In 2019, the photographs which comprised the College of Science Photograph Collection (P 084) were transferred to this collection as Series 7. Image numbers assigned during the processing of P 084 have been retained and are included in the descriptions of relevant folders. Series 7 is further arranged into six sub-series: Sub-series 1. Awards, 1964-1995; Sub-series 2. Departments and Programs, 1910-1990; Sub-series 3. Events and Meetings, 1974-2005; Sub-series 4. Publications, 1925-1988; Sub-series 5. Spaces, circa 1900-1997; and Sub-series 6. Faculty, Staff, and Students, 1921-1999. The arrangement of this series is intended to mirror the arrangement of Series 1, Administrative Records, as many of the photographs in this series relate directly to the sub-series in Series 1. Of note in this series are photographs of Dean F.A. Gilfillan, and faculty member E. Dale Trout.
Records documenting the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) on OSU’s campus make up a significant portion of the records in Series 8, Microfilmed Correspondence and Reports. Also included in this series is correspondence about School of Science programs and departments, and correspondence of College of Science Dean Earl L. Packard. This series also includes a folder documenting the work of Nathan Fasten. Materials in this folder are primarily administrative in nature, and document the day-to-day management <span class="highlight1 bold">of</span> the Zoology Department and its faculty. Subjects include: faculty course loads, budgets, space needs, and hiring and promotions.
The collection also contains digital materials available for use in the Special Collections and Archives Research Center Reading Room. A small portion of these materials – Digital File 001 – document the external relations and communication strategies of the college. The majority, however, document College of Science-produced educational events and lectures, such as Discovery Days and the F.A. Gilfillan Memorial Lecture series, and include images, graphics and signage, contact lists, and marketing materials (Digital Files 003 and 004). Many of the digital images are duplicative of the photographs found in Series 7.
Series 1
Administrative Records
1932-2006
Series 1, Administrative Records, is comprised of biennial reports from 1938 to 1972; course descriptions, syllabi, and approval forms for new and continuing courses in the Department of General Science; and records documenting the establishment and/or reorganization of programs within the college (e.g. Biology, Environmental Science). The Administrative Records series is further arranged into six sub-series: 1. Advertising and Marketing, 1981-1996; 2. Departments and Programs, 1965-1998; 3. Meetings and Committees, 1958-1995; 4. Reports and Studies, 1932-2001; 5. Spaces and Space Allocation, 1962-2003; and 6. Subject Files, 1956-2006.
Of particular interest in this series are the biennial reports for the years 1938 to 1972 in Sub-series 4, which document updates to college facilities, such as laboratories and classrooms; enrollment numbers for the College as a whole; the hiring of new faculty; and budgetary needs in the coming biennium. Each biennial report includes shorter reports for each college department. Included in the materials of the Entomology Department in Sub-series 2, is a letter from John D. Lattin, Acting Chair of Entomology to Stella M. Coakley, Chair of Botany and Plant Pathology, regarding the installation of emergency phones in Cordley Hall in the mid- to late-1970s. The phones were installed as a response to a "rash of sexual harassments on campus and several in Cordley Hall." Also of note are materials documenting early efforts to extend OSU’s pedagogical reach through the use of “Instructional Television,” and VHS recordings.

Series 7
Photographs
circa 1880-2005
The photographs found in Series 7 are further arranged into six sub-series: Sub-series 1. Awards, 1964-1995; Sub-series 2. Departments and Programs, 1910-1990; Sub-series 3. Events and Meetings, 1974-2005; Sub-series 4. Publications, 1925-1988; Sub-series 5. Spaces, circa 1900-1997; and Sub-series 6. Faculty, Staff, and Students, 1921-1999. The arrangement of this series is intended to mirror the arrangement of Series 1, Administrative Records, as many of the photographs in this series relate directly to the sub-series in Series 1. Many of the photographs included in this series may have been taken with the intention of including them in College publications, or advertising and marketing materials; only photographs that were clearly identified as being used in a specific, identified publication were included in the Publications sub-series of Series 7. Where issue volumes and numbers were included on the images, those were noted, and it is possible these images were used in that volume and number of The Science Record.
Images of OSU’s Geology Field Camp, which is located near Mitchell, Oregon, are of particular interest in this series. Nearby locations pictured include the Circle Bar Cattle Ranch (17 miles west of Mitchell on HWY 26), the Gable Creek formation, the Maxwell Ranch, Black Butte, and the Painted Hills. The men's and women's Field Camp dorms are also pictured.
The majority of photographs in this series are black and white prints, though the collection also includes color prints and color slides. Contact sheets are also included for some of the black and white negatives. Materials from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital.

Series 8
Microfilmed Correspondence and Reports
1930-1954
Records documenting the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) on OSU’s campus make up a significant portion of the records in Series 8, Microfilmed Correspondence and Reports. Among the ASTP materials are letters from family members – typically mothers or fathers – of armed services personnel attending OSC as part of the program (Reel-folders 2.25, 2.46, 2.56, and 2.74). Many of the letters express gratitude for their son’s inclusion in the program, and a keen interest in their success while studying at Oregon State.
Also included in this series is correspondence about School of Science programs and departments; materials documenting the Seventh Willamette Valley Student Science Conference, including lists of student attendees, papers presented, and paper abstracts; and correspondence of Dean Earl L. Packard, and William Arthur Jensen, Executive Secretary to University Presidents William Jasper Kerr and George W. Peavy. Reel 2, Folder 79 includes correspondence, and a 1938 "petition," from an unnamed Chemistry department faculty member regarding the unsatisfactory leadership of Chair John Fulton, who served as Chair of the Chemistry Department at OAC and OSC from 1907 to 1940. This same folder also contains a letter from Linus Pauling - written in 1936 while teaching at California Institute of Technology - stating that "instruction at the College would be improved by [Fulton's] retirement."
