The Bacteriology Department worked closely with other departments, such as Dairy Husbandry and Poultry Husbandry, on Experiment Station research projects. Beckwith was a member of the OAC faculty and chair of the Bacteriology Department from 1912 to 1919. He authored several Extension and Experiment Station publications. He later served as chair of UCLA’s Department of Bacteriology. (HC 949)

3. School of Forestry Tree Nursery, 1925
4. Brush Mower Developed by the School of Forestry, ca. 1939
5. Participants in the Oregon Dairy Industries Meeting at Oregon State College Judging Ice Cream, February 1953
6. Physics Professors David Nicodemus and Richard R. Dempster Work with OSC’s Cyclotron, ca. 1954 Physics Professors David Nicodemus and Richard R. Dempster work with OSC’s cyclotron, ca. 1954. Nicodemus joined the Oregon State faculty in 1950 after receiving his doctorate at Stanford, where he worked on establishing its cyclotron. During World War II he worked on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, and participated in the detonation of the first nuclear device at the Trinity site in 1945. Dempster came to Oregon State in 1944 after earning his doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1942. While at Cal, Dempster worked in Ernest O. Lawrence’s Radiation Lab. Lawrence developed the first cyclotron at the University of California in 1932. (P25:2888)
7. Biochemist Wil Gamble in the Lab, ca. 1965
8. Researcher in an entomology lab, Cordley Hall, ca. 1968
9. 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.
