Thanks to a generous grant from l'I'Irs.
i\fax D. Tucker. the George W. Peavy
.\rboretum is in the process of being completely redone. The total area designated
as arboretum is approximately 180 acres
which includes Cronemiller Lake and the
Forestry Club cabin. First priority is the
3~ acres immediately inside the entrance on
old highway 99 about eight miles north of
Corvallis.
A campus commillce with representatives
from Forestry, Pharmacy, Botany, H o rticulture and Landscape Architecture, with Dick
Dilworth acting as chairman , has been set
up to plan the development. Preliminary
planning incl uded a master plan (see pic·
lure) prepared by George Fredeen, Dept. of
Landscape Architecture, and a soil survey hy
the Dept. of Soils.
Actual work got under way this . past
su1nn•er under the direc tion of Dave Paine.
Using power equi pment, most of the 34
acres has been cleared of brush, mowed a nd
sprayed with 2·4·S·T to retard new growth
of undesirable plants. Even though follow ·
up sprayi ng is anticipated the original spray·
ing has been quite successful.
One of the major accomplishments was
that of d raining the swampy area west and
nonhwesl of the proposed pond. Since this
area was too damp for heavy equipment, a
ditch was blown (not all at once) using
nearly 500 pounds of ditching dynamite.
Dr. Carl Stoltenbei·g
The result was a well ddined watercourse
averaging 3 to 4 feel deep with a steady
flow of water throughout the summer.
The nex t major accomplishment was the
construction of over a mile of traiJ a full
e ight feet wide topped with a three-inch
Ia yer of crushed rock.
The pond, which for tech nica l reasons
will be smaller than shown, was to h ave
been completed last fall but due to prob·
len1s involved in obtain ing a water right,
construction must be delayed. I t will be
named the " Randall Pond" after the late
Case} Randall who had been in charge or
the Arboretum From 1951 until his death in
1965.
As most Fernhoppers know, many native
and a few exotic species a rc already present
on the arborclllm site. One interesting species belongi ng to the genus Pinus p eriod i·
(ally reverts back to its juvenile growth
characteristics and produces singular, angu·
tar needles which look exactly like spruce
need les. The origin of these trees, some up
to 10 feet high , is unknown.
A nother spot has been set aside for Dr.
Kim Ching's plantation of various species
and varieties of Pseudotsugae from all over
the world. One of the trees has all the
outward characteristics of a true fir. Dr.
Ching explains that the normal Douglas- fir
has 26 chromosomes (13 from each parent)
hut the above mentio ned tree has 27 .
Dr. Carl H. Stoltenberg will assume the
Deanship of the OSll School of Forestry
ilbout Janua'l' I. 1967.
Dr. Stoltenberg
comes to Oregon from Iowa State University
w here he has been Head of the Department
of Forestry, and succeeds l\fac McCulloch
who has stepped down for reasons of
health. The new dean was born in Monterey, California, received his bachelor's and
master's degrees in forestry from the Un i·
versity of California, and his doctorate in
agricultural economics from the University
of Minnesota. He has served on the facul·
ties of University of Minnesota and Duke
University, gained research experience on
assignments with the U.S. Forest Service including that of chief of the division of
forest economics research of the 1ortheastern
Forest Experiment Station, and is presently
a member of the council of th~ ~ciety of
Americ-dn Foresters.
Future plans, beside construct ion of the
dam, include maintenanci:1 expa nsion and
the beginning of an extensive planting prO·
gram. T he planting will follow a plan yet
to be developed with help from the Dept. of
Landscape Architecture and the existing soil
survey.
Eventually other ·chools on the
camp us will add a section including a
botanical garden by Botan y a nd a drng
garden by P harmacy.
It will be many yea rs before the entire
Arbo retum area is complete hut a substan t·
ia t beginning has been made .

Fall term enrollment is the same as a

T he reductio n in numbers of new

Fern hoppers:
The past year fou nd m a n y OSU Forestry
Alumni concerning the mselves with, and
working a t matters o[ rea l impo rtance to
the School of Forestry.
First, the task force review of the School's
instructional and resea rch p rograms was
la.u nched with the appo in tment o£ a plan nmg comm ittee headed by T erry l\loore.
This comm i ttee cam e up wi th a n excellenc
task force plan that will be lllrned o ver to
your new Forestry Alumni Presiden t for
consideration and implementat ion.
The second i tem a nd undou btedly of most
con cern to Forestr)' Alu mni was the ann ounced resignation of Dean i\fcCulloch.
The high regard th at cver)•o ue had for l\fac
m ade his announcement universall y "hard
to take", howcvc1· everyone was full y appreciative of his reasons fo r doing so. Alumni
concern then turned to Mac's successor.
He re again, the Alumni responded through
a com mittee tha t was in con tact with Presid en t Jensen and offered g uidance in th e
a lumni approach to school objectives, quali fi ca tions for a Dean , an d the typ e of product the School should turn out. I have
had the oppo rtuni ty to spend some time
with the new D ean and I believe tha t this
comm ittee 's work bore fruit.
And back to the task force - since there
is a new Dean o n the scen e, the Board of
Directors and the School delayed im p lem entation of the task fo rce p lan until D ean
Tl~e Schoo.] of Forestry is often asked to
prov1de asststancc in locating foresters
for gov~rnme:ltal aud industr ial posi tio 11 s.
The policy of the School is to suggest alumni
wherever OSU graduates a rc well qualified.
~l oweve r, to respect emp loyer's rig hts, the
.School cannot forw a rd a man 's name un less

CASEY
MAC'S CORNER
Since this is the last ··corner" for me,
I'll look back a t 29 years of association with
the School. no t to e m bark on an elaborate
historical cssa)', bu t to give a few examples
illustrati ng the man y ch a nges which have
occu rred. I'll make a few guesses about
future developmen ts, with no guarantees , no
t imetable, and no in te11L 10 second-guess the
men who will be responsible fo r the School's
fu ture.
In 1956, many of you were on deck fo r
the School's 501h ann iversa11'. Present were
former dean Paul l\1. Dunn ; H a rold Gill
and T . J. Slilrker, half of the fi rst grad uating
class of 1910: many others from the early
days of the School; and the spirit of George
W. Peavy h i mself. It would be unthinkable
th at his spir i t co uld be in any ot her place
on the 50th auniversary of his beloved
School.
On that occasion I addressed an urgen t
and sincere charge to the youngest man in
the room , asking him to be present at the
IOOth anni versary; asking hi m to tell how he
was present in 1956 a nd heard and saw the
men who were in the first class. the men
who spoke o f the early years, the men who
knew George Peavy so well, the men who
carried on after h im. By such recounting
t h is youngest m a n could pass on to another
youngest man present i n 2006, the feelin g,
the £1avor, the problems, the accomplishments, the hopes of the School in its beg inning. And this se nse of personal partici pation and first hand story could can·y along
the h istoric pictu re of the School fo rever
and forever.
I hope that the you ngest man presen t
in 19ii6 d ocs remember this. I'm asking
him aga in to he sure that his first hand
acquai nta nce with the fou nding of the
School is handed on in 2006. Then the
second hundred years oE the School may
begi n with the spirit and 1he resolution
which marked the good beginning of the
first h undred yea rs.
In the 1930's the depression held down
college enro llments, but due to many job
opportuni ties with the CCC. Oregon State
fores try registration climbed dramatically .
There were 128 fc rnhoppers in '33. 297 in
'34 , 44 2 in '35, 532 in '36, and !>55 in 1937.
This circumstance forced the Sch ool to add
more inst ructors. Bob Evendcn, Clarence
Richen, H enry Vaux, and myself came to
1he School in the fall of 1937. 1\ s T recall.
this incremen t brought the faculty total to
13.
T he fi gure of 555 foresters still stands as
the 1·ecord; the nex t h ighest was 5 17 when
veterans fill ed the school in 19~6. Today,
~ 07 undergrad s and 52 graduate students receive instruct ion from nea rly 40 staff mem bers, including severa l research men on parttime teach ing assignments.
The future en ro llment picture is uncertain. Man y towns in Orego11 are anxious to
have a local college of some sort. Inevitably
as more o f these a re established , more stu d en ts will stay close to home as long as
possi ble, reducing the tirne spent in the
professional schools. T ransfer students are
increasing again. T h ere will certainly be a
con tinuing increase in ~r·aduate students
since Ph .D . d egrees arc now available in the

the Casey R andall lVIcmor ial ScholarTh e words of the scholarship • brabest describe the esteem· in which
was held, and arc quoted .
" Warren Robert ,"Casey" Randall,
(1918-1966) in 1962 was voted by the
students the most inspira tional teacher
in the School of Forestry. T his is
perhaps the best index to his years of
service in the School- the ability to
command respect, even though he was
dema nding of his students, as he was
o f h imself.
During most of his years a t Oregon
State Universi ty, Casey labored under
the extreme handicap of serious illhealth and many severe operations.
at
once d id he lose his cheerfu l outlook on
life; not on ce did he complain; always
he was an example and an inspiration
to others who thought they had troubles.
Warren R. Randall
lt is wi th sadness that we announce the
death on February 22. 1966, of P rofessor
Wanen R . (Casey) Randall in Fort Collins.
Colorado. ln his memory has been estabIn postwar curriculum developments essen tial new courses have been added, and
non -essentials eliminated.
Now there is
opportunity for students to add extra emphasis in business (incl uding a master's
program especially for foresters), civil engineering, and science, to n ame a few.
Fu ture cuniculum plans p robably will include consideration of pulp and pape1·, w mputer applications, mo re quantifying of for estry! more economics, and more public
relations, among other areas.
Back in 1937 all the state-sponsored re search in Oregon was carried out by o ne
fo rcsl11' prof who was allowed to devote
one-fourth o f hi s time to 1his work. T he
addition of I he Forest R esearch La boratory
to the School in 1961 gave a tremendous lift
to the University's forest research capabili ty
a nd added some 40 people to the staff. In
1966, what had been originally the School's
modest Forest E xperiment Station was consolidated with the Laboratory. Fu ture research expa nsion doubtless will include such
areas as pulp and paper chemistry, operations research, and the biological background
for better ti mber production. Expansion of
economics and recreation research are urgently needed to provide a better base fo r
la nd use decision s.
In addition to these very brief notes o n
histor y, instruction , and research . I can 't
close off this "Corner " withollt a personal
footnote. In the past I was fortunate to
enjoy a close personal friendship with
George Peavy, Paul Dunn, and man y of the
graduates. From all of them I received
heartwarming assistance, when ever i t was
needed . J count these frien dships the greatest reward of all my p leasant experiences in
the School. l\fy thanks to all hands.
I'd like to ask the same gene rous, effective,
and friendly assistance fo r Ca rl Stol tenberg.
Two top forestry deans have written me
that they consider OSU very fortunate to
obtain him as lhc dean of forestry. l agree,
without reservation . H e is an exceptionally
fine man. He will con tinue in the best
tradition of the past and a dd to the School
his own particu lar streng ths to assure its
future success.
H u ndreds of studen t$ wi ll remember
Casey's patience and assistance in times
of perplexity and trouble. Many fernhoppers learned from h im the necessity
for high ideals and for kindness and
generosity toward their fellow men. H e
taught the m much that was outside the
covers of textbooks. Many happy and
successful foresters have him to thank
for the ir professional advancemen t because of Ius con tribution to their development. H e took a deep interest in his
work a n d his students and spent endless
hours of overtime for the benefit of
both .
Casey is not he~e in person , bu t
memories o f his vital personality arc all
around us. \.Ye see him in the rhododendron which he planted to beautify
the building; in the mountain hemlock
he carried down from the Cascades for
the benefit of tree identification classes,
and in the man y exot;c trees he so carefull y tended in the Pea vy Arboretum.
In that part of his two score and seven
years spen t with us he left many happy
memories.
He is remembered wi th warm th ,
affection , and respect. ' .Vhat words can
you use to describe si1ch a m an? Certain ly courageous, never discouraged, as
many lesser men would have been. · His
sense of humor sustained him and made
him all the more cajoyablc to work
with .
Few o( us will leave so high a mark
of ch aracter. Despite his own great
troubles, he was never forgetful of the
needs of others-he helped the poor o f
Bento n County, he helped unfortu nate
neighbors for years. he p Jan ned h is
estate to help gener ations of foresters
after h e was gone.
Casey's ~r·eat kindness and though tfu lness toward others marked h is daily
life. T his Memorial Scholarship is the
best example. It is hoped that recipients will in turn exemplify the many
admirable traits which made Casey
R a ndall a man to be remembcr~d : "

to Forestry since i t is used extensively by
the bo tany and zoology departments for
research proj ects, and th e whole area serves
as a laborator y for the fish and game
department. Four wee kends of contro lled
hu.nting redu ced the deer population by 244
