Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version.

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)

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.

Y-Hut, ca. 1920. Built to accommodate a larger YMCA presence on campus during World War I, the Y-Hut was located from 1918 to 1927 where the Memorial Union is today. It was erected by the National War Work Council of the YMCA. The Y-Hut was removed in early 1927 to make way for the MU. The YWCA remained in Shepard Hall. (HC 1208)

Oregon State concluded an up-and-down season in 1928 by traveling 3,000 miles to play the much heralded New York University Violets in Yankee Stadium on Thanksgiving Day, November 29. The 25-13 Beaver victory, considered one of college football's biggest upsets of the season, was called "one of the prettiest games of the year to watch" by a New York sportswriter. On the team's return trip, crowds at LaGrande, Pendleton, The Dalles, Portland and Corvallis greeted the victors. The trophy awarded by Mayor Baker was inscribed, "To Oregon State College by the citizens of Portland presented in commemoration of the football victory, Oregon State College over New York University Yankee Stadum, New York O.S.C. 25 - N.Y.U. 13 November 29, 1928 (HC 918)

Bouquet, Anne Ewing Wayson, Harry Auld, Minette Phillips Espy, Phillip Gearhart, Madeline Nichold, Sam Graf, Fred Roth, Floyd Rowland, Harold G. Rumbraugh, Letha Rickard Porter, and Fred Ewing. The Golden Jubilee Reunion, the Alumni Association’s primary reunion, brings together members of the graduating class from fifty years ago. (HC 1102)
