The stale wanted lo establish a college as early as 1851, and had selected Corvallis, then known as Marysville, as the site. The lcgislawre then re' ersed itself and decided to construct the college in Jacksonville in southern Oregon. However, the people of Con allis went ahead and erected an academy in 1858, operated by the Methodist church. With the adoption of the Morrill act the state look over partial control, and assumed full control in 1885. ln 1868 the name was changed lo the Stale Agricultural College of Oregon, later to Oregon Agricultural College, and in 1953 was changed to the present Oregon State College,althoughpopular acclaim had brought abolll the present name as early as 1927. The college campus proper, as well as adjoining agricultural lands, consists of about 4,000 acres, with increases being made yearly as the institution grows in population and need. In addi- tion to the campus area, the Agricultural Experiment station at the college administers and utilizes approximately 24,000 acres, rnostly county and federal owned. Tl1e school of forestry owns and administers another 13,300 acres in lhc Pcm y arboretum and the kDonald and other forested areas near Corvallis. These lands are used to teach forestry students actual forest practices through on-lhe-job train- ing, as well as lhe re earch projects for the state and national forest services and the many timber companies located through- out the Northwest. In addition to the schools of agriculture and forestry the col- lege also offers degrees in Business and Technology, Education, Engineering and Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Pharmacy and Science, and the Graduate school. In addition many liberal arts courses such as journalism, art, English, music, speech, ps)chology and modern languages under a lower division pro- gram. Also on the campus may be found several units devoted to research such as the cyclotron for nuclear physics and the Ore- gon Forest Products laboratory devoted to finding new ways lo use the vast timber resources of the Oregon forests. Oregon State College is located in the quiet city of Corvallis, named for its location in the heart of the Willamette valley of western Otcgon. Conallis has a population o( 20,500 and is 85 miles outh of Portland and 60 miles east of the Pacific ocean. It lies midway between the Ca cade and Coast ranges, and its main industries are agriculture and timber. J\boul 8300 students are enrolled for the 1959-60 college year, and i11dica1ions are, that with the cominued increase in pop- ulation in the Pacific :\orlhwesl. along wilh the general popula- tion growth of the nation, the enrollmcm will top 10,000 within a few )Cars. To prepare for this the college is in the midst of a vast build- ing program, with emphasis on student housing, a factor which is already resulting in limitations on enrollment. The most notable structures on the campus include the i\Ie111orial Union, built from public subscription in 1928 as the center of student acli,ity; Benton hall, built in 1889 and the oldest structure still standing and in use on the campus; OSC 2 coliseum, OSC's 11,000-seat basketball pavilion which contains no obstructing posts; 27,000-seat Parker stadium for football; and Sackett hall, erected in 1948 to house women students. Dr. August L. Strand is the present president of the college, having served in that capacity since 1942. Roy S. (Spec) Keene has served as director of athletics since 1947.
