The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station was organized
July 1, 1888, in accordance with the Hatch Act of 1887. It now
includes a central station at Corvallis and twelve branch stations
so located as to cover the varying agricultural conditions of Oregon. It investigates problems in agriculture, home economics,
forestry, fisheries, and wildlife; its general objectives follow: (1)
Conservation and efficient use of the State's natural resources
including soil, water, fish, wildlife, forest, and ranges and their
management integrated to provide the greatest public good.
(2) Increasing efficiency of agricultural and forest production.
(3) Improving the processing, distribution, and marketing of
products of agriculture and forestry. (4) Testing and developing new crops and new uses for old crops as a means of reducing
crop surpluses. (5) Collecting and analyzing basic information
needed in development of comprehensive agricultural and forestry programs and policies. (f) Advancement of human wellbeing through research in selection, preparation, and preservation of food; determining of human nutrition requirements; and
role of food in maintaining optimal health; selection, construction, and care of clothing and household fabrics.
The Station cooperates with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the U. S. Department of the Interior, other Federal and
State agencies, and the counties in which the branch stations
are located. A number of Federal scientists are located in Oregon
working on problems of a regional nature.
The Agricultural Research Division of the Station is made
up of fifteen campus departments and twelve branch stations.
Some staff members are full time in research while others also
teach in the Schools of Agriculture, Science, Engineering, and
Home Economics. In addition, some 190 graduate students devote half time to research as Research Assistants.

The research is aimed at problem solving and covers all
phases of agricultural production, processing, and marketing;
conservation, management, and use of renewable natural resources-soil, water, range, fish, and wildlife; human nutrition
and home economics; and basic biological sciences which support the applied fields. Increasing attention is being devoted to
basic research-the fundamental discoveries and knowledge essential to solving problems.
With the diversity of growing conditions in the State, the
establishment of off-campus programs, including the branch
stations, has been necessary. Crops and animals are produced in
areas with rainfall varying from 8 to 100 inches, altitudes ranging from sea level to a mile high, a growing season extending
from 63 to 283 days, and on land including more than 400 different soil types.

The Forest Research Division of the Station consists of two
complementary departments: Forest Science, and the Forest
Research Laboratory.
The Forest Science Department is concerned with forest
research conducted by staff jointly appointed with the School of
Forestry and related biological science departments. Chief areas
of research currently include forest entomology, genetics, pathology, physiology, soils, marketing, watersheds, and wood anatomy. Applied research in forest engineering is concerned with
roads and timber transportation.
The Forest Research Laboratory was established to aid the
economic growth of Oregon through research to develop the
maximum yield from forests and the best utilization of the forest resource. The program was begun with a small general fund
appropriation for forest products research in 1941; expanded in
1947 when a severance tax on logs was established to finance
forest products and forest management research; and given
substantial impetus with construction of the Laboratory at Corvallis in 1957. From 1953 to 1961 the Laboratory (then known
as the Oregon Forest Research Center) was administered by the
Forest Protection and Conservation Committee, a state agency
affiliated with the State Board of Forestry; in 1961 it was consolidated with Oregon State University.
Major effort in forest products is on utilization of wood residues, discovery of new products, more efficient processing methods, and improvement in the utilization and serviceability of
wood. In forest management, research is conducted in the fields
of fire and fire weather, forest ecology, genetics, growth and
yield, mammalogy, pathology, regeneration, and soils.
These programs, which derive their principal support from
the forest industry, supply results of research and provide tech-
nical information to timber owners, manufacturers, users of
forest products, and others who are interested.
Both departments of the Forest Research Division undertake
cooperative research in specialized areas financed by individuals,
corporations, associations, and government agencies. The Division benefits from the advice and counsel of two advisory com-
mittees, one in forest management and one in forest products,
representing industrial associations and organizations and public
forestry agencies.

been made possible by the assistance of industries and state and
national associations. Inquiries concerning cooperative projects
are welcomed.
The dean of engineering is the director of the Engineering
Experiment Station and guides the operation of the station to
conform with state and institutional policies. The assistant dean
of engineering acts as the administrator in charge, technical edi-
tor of publications, and as chairman of the station executive
council composed of senior station staff representing the various
departments of the School of Engineering. The active staff is
composed of members of the instructional staff who may be interested in various specific research projects, or of research fellows who are pursuing graduate study and are assigned to parttime work in the Station. Experts who are especially qualified
by training and experience to advise on the investigations in
certain fields have been appointed to the staff as special counselors. Among these are executives and engineers representing
major industries of Oregon and the Northwest, prominent consulting engineers, and leading engineers of Federal agencies
and State departments. Some technical assistants have been
supported by manufacturers and industrial associations interested
in working out specific problems.

The growth of scientific research on this campus during the
past thirty years, coupled with a steady increase in support of
research by outside agencies, resulted in the establishment in
1952 of the Science Research Institute. The Institute, operating
within the framework of the School of Science, has three functions; first, to assist scientists at Oregon State in obtaining support for research projects; second, to aid in expediting their
research programs and to promote interdisciplinary research;
and third, to pursue an active research program fitted to the interest and competence of the Institute staff.
Principal quarters of the Institute are in the Physics-Chemistry Building, with supplemental quarters in the Chemistry Build-
ing and Covell Hall. Current studies by the Institute staff include fundamental projects in biochemistry, biophysics, organic
chemistry, solid state chemistry, electrochemistry, microbiology,
entomology, plant pathology, forest products, pharmacology,
and atmospheric science which derive their support from Oregon State University, government research agencies, research
foundations, and industrial concerns.
Staff members of the Science Research Institute receive joint
appointments in the Institute and the appropriate teaching departments. Research assistants employed by the Institute also
receive appointments in the departments in which their ad-
vanced degrees are sought.
Transportation Research Institute
The Transportation Research Institute brings together the
resources of the institution for research on transportation of agricultural and forest products, maintenance and operation problems in the trucking industry, traffic problems, and other problems related to the transportation industry.
Water Resources Research Institute
The importance of water for the economic and social development of Oregon resulted in the establishment in 1960 of the
Water Resources Research Institute. The function of the Institute is to encourage, facilitate, and coordinate research at Oregon State University on the factors that affect the quantity and
quality of water available for use by mankind. The Institute is
administered by the Agricultural and Engineering Experiment
Stations and is staffed by scientists of the various departments at
Oregon State engaged in water resources research.
Extensive facilities are available for Institute scientists ineluding watershed lands, a soils laboratory, water and waste
treatment plants, experimental waste treatment facilities, bacteriological and water quality laboratories, freshwater and marine
biological laboratories, an experimental stream, and computing
equipment for economic research. These facilities afford a
unique opportunity for graduate and advanced undergraduate
research and instruction. Graduate assistantships are available.

Federal Cooperative Extension performs one of the three
major functions of Oregon State University, which are: resident
teaching, research, and extension teaching. It extends the available information of Oregon State University, the United States
Department of Agriculture, and other appropriate State and Federal agencies to every portion of the State. A staff of men and
women resident in the counties, cooperatively supported by Oregon State, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the
counties, and a resident staff of subject-matter specialists in agriculture and home economics work on approved projects.
The work of the Extension Service includes all forms of offcampus instruction and assistance in those phases of agriculture,
home economics, and related subjects that can be practically
adapted to the needs of the people of the State. Unique teaching
methods have been developed through the years, important
among which is organization for self-help to bring widespread
application of the principles presented. All counties in the State
cooperate to bring extension programs to every community.
Extension Projects. In order to assure maximum efficiency,
extension work is conducted on the basis of definitely planned
projects. These require approval by the proper Oregon State
University authority and the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture before Federal and State funds appropriated for the work may be
expended. The several distinct written projects from which citi-
zens of the State are receiving benefit include:
Administration-overall administrative direction and leadership of programs and personnel.
Extension Information-dissemination of information through
mass media of communication, including servicing and training
of personnel in communications methods, and development and
use of mass media and visual aids. Part of this project is supported jointly with the Division of Continuing Education.
Agricultural Production, Management, and Natural Resource
Development-this project is concerned with the application of
science and technology to the organization and operation of
farming and ranching enterprises and the conservation and development of agricultural resources. Subject matter fields involved are: animal husbandry, crops, certification of seeds and
plants, dairying, agricultural engineering, entomology, farm
management, range management, forestry, horticulture, plant
pathology, poultry, soils, and fish and wildlife management.
Marketing and Utilization of Agricultural Projects-work
with marketing firms is emphasized. Objectives are to create
greater efficiencies in processing, handling, and distribution
through the application of new technology and improved marketing practices; to expand the market for Oregon farm products; and to get rapid adjustment by farmers, consumers, and
marketing firms to changes in technology, supply, and demand.
In addition to agricultural economics, subject matter fields involved include food technology, dairy technology, and wood
technology.
Home Economics-subject matter areas covered under this
project are in child development and human relations, foods and
nutrition, home management and equipment, family economics,
clothing and textiles, housing, and home furnishings. The project
contributes toward economic well-being, desirable human relationships, assumption of civic responsibilities, and appreciation
of the land in which we live.
4-H Club Work-through this program, Oregon State University provides an off-campus education service to the boys and
girls of Oregon between the ages of 9 and 21. Objectives are to
help young people acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes that
will contribute to their success as mature citizens in their home,
their community, and their vocation. Agricultural and home eco-
nomics projects are emphasized, but many others also are included.
Community and Public Affairs-work under this project is
designed to assist Oregon citizens to: understand principles and
develop skills in the organization and leadership of groups; learn
how to proceed systematically in the identification and resolution of public issues-local, state, national, and international; understand the political process through which public decisions
are achieved and implemented in a democracy; plan and develop public facilities and services in such areas as health, safety,
civil defense, recreation, general economic and social improvement; develop and implement long-range plans for the conser-
vation and use of natural resources in the public interest-land,
water, forests, and wildlife.
Organization and Supervision of County Extension Opera-
tions-provide the basis for conducting the extension program
at the county level.
