RG 016 Oregon State University. Graduate School. Graduate School Records 1917-2000 2.6 cubic feet and 8 reels of microfilm Though the first graduate degree at OSU was conferred in 1875, a formal graduate program was not established until 1933. The Graduate School Records document the work of the OSU Graduate Committee/Council, the Oregon State System of Higher Education (OSSHE) Graduate Division, and the Advisory Committee for the Selection of the Graduate Dean as well as research conducted by graduate students. Materials inEnglish. Historical Note:

The first graduate degree at Oregon State was conferred in 1875. In 1910 the Committee on Advanced Degrees (known as the Graduate Committee) was established. Gordon V. Skelton was chair of the committee from 1910-1933. When OSSHE formed a Graduate Division in 1933, the subdivision at OSU was the College Graduate Council (which replaced the Graduate Committee). This marked the beginning of formalized graduate programs at OSU. In 1946, an autonomous graduate school office was established. Henry P. Hansen became the first dean of the new office in 1947; he served until 1972.

Series one is on microfilm. Series two, General Files, is informally grouped by decade. It includes correspondence, program information, statistical data, and reports. OSSHE Graduate Division materials include information pertaining to the OSU Graduate Committee. Series five includes research progress reports from the 1950s.

Organized into 7 series: I. Thesis Abstracts; II. General Files; III. Graduate Committee/Council Minutes; IV. OSSHE Graduate Division; V. Grants; and VI. Advisory Committee for the Selection of the Graduate Dean; and VII. Registration and Advanced Degree Reports. Series I and II are arranged alphabetically and series III-VI chronologically.
