Historical Note
Science instruction has been a part of Oregon State University's
curriculum since the founding of the school. Early this century, the science
departments were part of the School of Agriculture and the School of Basic Arts
and Sciences. The School of Science was created by the State Board of Higher
Education in 1932 as the one school in the state higher education system
authorized to grant degrees in science. The first Ph.D. degrees were confered
in 1935. The school's name was changed to the College of Science in 1974.
Deans of the school have included Earl L. Packard (1932-1938), Francois
A. Gilfillan (1938-1962), Vernon Cheldelin (1962-1965), John M. Ward
(1966-1970), Robert W. Krauss (1973-1980), Thomas Sugihara (1981-1986), and
Frederick M. Horne (1986-1999), and Sherman H. Bloomer (1999-).
Content Description
Series one consists of Dean Earl L. Packard's correspondence and reports
files. Series two includes registration statistics summaries and enrollment

Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools.
