T
HE GENERAL AIM OF THE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY IS TO ASSURE ITS
students quality education, both liberal and professional. A spe-
cific School aim is the best possible development of students as individuals, citizens, and professional men.
Forests constitute Oregon's most valuable natural resource-the
forest industry is the backbone of Oregon's economy. Forestry is also
important nationally and is of major significance in other western
states. There is a strong, continuing demand for foresters in this region.
Oregon State foresters are well equipped for future responsible positions in developing and managing the basic forest values, water, wood,
wildlife, recreation, and forage. They are employed in developing and
maintaining the forest environment; in harvesting forest crops; in wood
product development, processing, and marketing; in teaching; and in
research. Since the School stresses administrative management, graduates who prepare themselves adequately have excellent opportunities
for advancement to administrative positions. The School arranges
seasonal
employment and operates a graduate placement
service.
Forestry is a highly satisfying occupation with expanding possibilities.
The School is accredited by the Society of American Foresters.

In the forestry curricula listed in this catalog, it is assumed
that the high school preparation of each student has included
the following: English, four years; mathematics, four yearsincluding trigonometry and advanced algebra; chemistry, one
year; physics, one year; graphics or mechanical drawing, one
year.
American Foresters, to conduct themselves as befits professional
reason for terminating a student.
must complete Oregon State University
and School of Forestry requirements for entrance, including the
Scholastic Aptitude Test. All freshmen take placement tests in
English and mathematics. Transfer students who do not have
academic credit for college-level mathematics will also take the
appropriate placement test. Deficiencies shown by this test
should be corrected by the student before enrolling in regular
courses in mathematics. Transfer students should normally plan
to enter Oregon State at the end of the freshman year; otherwise, more than a total of four years may be required because
of difficulties in scheduling sequence and prerequisite courses.
Appropriate courses from accredited forestry schools will be
accepted without examination to fulfill the School's curricular
requirements. Courses in forestry subjects from institutions with
unaccredited forestry programs may be accepted only after the
student demonstrates an adequate grasp of the subject matter
concerned by examination or other adequate evidence. Transfer
credits in general education courses accepted by the University
may be used to satisfy the School's general education requirements.

are required to abide by the Code of Ethics of the Society of

The University does not grant credit for work done in

Advantages
The School of Forestry is recognized nationally for its strong
undergraduate program, for its personal interest in students and
their development, and for graduates who perform effectively
and responsibly as professional foresters.
Corvallis is one of the largest forest research centers in
America. An aggressive research program is conducted by the
School through its Forest Research Laboratory and by the
campus-based Forest Sciences Laboratory of the U. S. Forest
Service. They offer splendid educational and employment opportunities for superior students.
The School is closely associated with industry and public
forestry agencies and makes good use of their facilities for student benefit. During each school year, many trips are made to
woods and plants to give classes a firsthand knowledge of engi-
neering, management, and utilization processes.
No summer camp is required. A truck fleet takes students
daily to nearby School forests for field instruction. There are
more than 11,000 acres in the adjacent McDonald and Dunn
Forests and Peavy Arboretum. The School owns other properties in Benton and Columbia counties. All are available for
research and demonstration as well as instruction.
Graduation
Academic requirements: Minimum requirements for bachelor's degree include the University stipulations listed in the
General Catalog: 204 term hours of university-level courses in
an approved curriculum, of which 33 term hours must be in
Humanities and Social Sciences, including 15 term hours in
communications, and at least six months of forestry employment
satisfactory to the employer and to the School.
Professional and personal requirements: The School's personnel program provides assistance and incentive, but success
The School of Forestry seeks to help young men develop their
personal and intellectual talents to enable them to serve society
effectively as both citizens and resource managers.
University Honors Program
Students with exceptional scholastic abilities will be interested in the honors seminars of the School of Forestry. These
are coordinated with the University Honors Program (see
page 28). Information concerning the program may be obtained
from the Director.

Courses
Courses in forest engineering are de-
signed to prepare men to deal with the
woods problems peculiar to the forest industry of the Pacific Northwest. Empha-
is placed on the preparation of logging plans and the transportation of tim-
sis
ber from the woods to the mills.
Because of the close proximity of the
Peavy Arboretum, the McDonald Forest,
the Dunn Forest, and other timbergrowing tracts owned or administered by
the School of Forestry, a good many of
the laboratory periods for courses in
Forest Engineering are conducted under
field conditions.

FOREST MANAGEMENT
The forest management core curriculum
includes basic courses in science and
social science plus professional courses
designed to prepare students to manage
the forest resource on a multiple-use basis.
Students have the opportunity to specialize through three options including
forest administration, forest science, and
forest recreation.
The administration option provides
added background in such areas as engi-
neering, economics, and business. The
science option prepares the student for
graduate work in areas of forest science
such as pathology, entomology, ecology,
physiology, and genetics. The recreation
option fills a need for those students particularly interested in managing the forest
environment for use by recreationists.
Forestry in the Pacific Northwest is
emphasized, but the principles and concepts involved are universal.

FOREST PRODUCTS
Statics and strength of materials; anisotropic

Two curricula are offered to prepare
men for diversified careers in the forest
products and allied industries. Both pro-
functions of time, temperature, moisture con-
grams provide a broad education in wood
science, a background in science, wood
processing principles, wise use of wood
and fiber products, and correlated general education including communications,
social sciences, and humanities.
The curriculum in Wood Industries
Management is equally adequate in preparation for production, sales, technical
services, and utilization employment in
the broad forest products field. The curriculum in wood science provides a base
for advanced degree work in wood science and closely related fields for men
interested primarily in research, product
development, and academic careers. Employment opportunities are excellent in
these broad areas.
Through careful choice of electives,
the student, under staff guidance, has the
opportunity to select a wide range of
courses in many fields-wood chemistry,
pulp and paper, wood technology and
engineering, science, business, economics,
social sciences and humanities, architecture, forest management, and forest engineering.
Advanced degrees are offered in wood
science, forest products economics, wood
industries management and processing,
and allied subjects. A number of students
have earned second bachelor's degrees in
science or business and technology by
meeting requirements for concurrent degrees. The Master of Science and Master
of Business Administration degrees are
also open to qualified candidates. Concurrent bachelor's degrees and master's
degrees require approximately one additional full-time year of study and/or
research; doctor's degrees generally require three years following completion of
the bachelor's degree.
