The Science Research Institute was
established at Oregon State College in 1952 to "preserve and encourage the
individual initiative of productive research in the science faculty, to
intensify research activities, to encourage research grants, and to promote
teamwork in research among the staff members in the different fields of
science." These records document the activities of the institute and the
research activities of institute director Vernon Cheldelin.
Materials inEnglish.
Historical Note:
The Science Research Institute was established at Oregon State College
on August 5, 1952, by action of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education. As
part of the School of Science, its mission was to "preserve and encourage the
individual initiative of productive research in the science faculty, to
intensify research activities, to encourage research grants, and to promote
teamwork in research among the staff members in the different fields of
science." Vernon H. Cheldelin served as director from 1952 until his death in
1966. Subsequent directors were John M. Ward, 1966-1971; and R. W. Newburgh,
1971-1974. The institute ended in 1974; its functions were largely absorbed by
the Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry.
Series 1 documents the activities of the institute, especially with
public and private organizations such as the American Chemical Society, the
Atomic Energy Commission, DuPont, and the National Science Foundation. Series 2
relates to the research activities of institute director Vernon Cheldelin.
These records are organized into 2 series: General Correspondence and
Vernon H. Cheldelin Files. Series is 1 arranged alphabetically by year.
Collection is open for research.
