The growth of OSU’s research programs in the 1950s and 1960s necessitated institution-wide coordination. The university administration created the Research Office in 1965 to provide that coordination, in response to the steady increase in research funding available in the post–World War II years.

OSU Antarctic Station, 1974 OSU Antarctic Station, 1974. OSU oceanographers studied Antarctic under-ice water temperature, currents and salinity as part of a National Science Foundation research grant. The four-member team lived in one of the ten feet by twelve feet huts in the photo; the other served as their workspace. In September and October 1974, the crew experienced air temperatures with a wind chill of more than minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This photo first appeared in the January 1975 Oregon Stater.
