The College of Veterinary Medicine Records
consist predominantly of reports of research and diagnostic testing conducted
by the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Oregon State University. The first
veterinary science courses were taught at Oregon State Agricultural College in
1892; the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory was built in 1952 and the School of
Veterinary Medicine was established at in 1975.
Materials inEnglish.
Historical Note:
Veterinary Science courses were taught at Oregon State Agricultural
College as early as 1892. In 1910, the Department of Veterinary Science was
established within the School of Agriculture. In 1914, a veterinarian, Dr.
Bennet T. Simms, was employed and the department name was changed to Veterinary
Medicine.
In 1952 the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory was built; it was enlarged
in 1961. The Veterinary Isolation Facility was constructed on campus in 1973 to
provide an environment for effective research into the complex and costly
diseases that affect Oregon's domestic animals and wildlife. In 1975 the School
of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University was established by the State
Legislature. Magruder Hall, named for the state representative that was
responsible for securing the funding for the construction of the building,
opened in 1980, and in the fall of 1981, the Veterinary Teaching Hospital
opened. The School was changed to a college in 1983 when most other schools at
OSU were designated as colleges.
Department heads of Veterinary Medicine over the years, in addition to
Dr. Simms (who stayed until 1938), have included: James Niven Shaw from
1938-1955; and Ernest Milton Dickinson 1955-1970. The first dean of the School
in 1975 was Dr. E. E. Wedman, followed by Loren Koller from 1985-1995. Norman
Hutton served as interim dean in 1995 and 1996 until Robert C. Wilson was named
dean in June of 1996. He served as dean until his retirement in June, 1999. The
present dean, named in 1999, is L. J. Koong.
The College of Veterinary Medicine Records contains two subgroups: 1.
School of Veterinary Medicine; and 2. Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. The
first subgroup consists of papers written for Veterinary Medicine Classes, and
translations of veterinary medicine papers from German to English. The second
subgroup, Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory contains reports, correspondence and
other administrative records. Included are annual progress and final reports on
various research projects, annual reports of the lab, monthly clinical necropsy
records compiled in cooperation with the State Wildlife Commission;
correspondence pertaining to test results; press releases; inspection reports
of the lab; fee scales; and equipment specifications. The administrative
correspondence includes requests for office and medical supplies, advice to
prospective veterinary students, travel arrangements, thank you notes, and
requests for payment of travel expenses.
The College of Veterinary Medicine Records are arranged in two
subgroups: 1. School of Veterinary Medicine and 2. Veterinary Diagnostic
Laboratory. Subgroup 1 consists of two series: I. Class Projects from
Veterinary Medicine Classes and II. Translations. Subgroup 2 also consists of
two series: I. Reports and II. Correspondence and Administrative Records.
Collection is open for research.
