This lab was located on the third floor of Agriculture Hall and according to the college catalog was "equipped for teaching general Entomology and fairly well equipped for advanced research work."
Originally annotated as "$20,000 gift given to student loan fund by: Nellie A. Shaver, James D. Shaver, and Delmer Shaver." Nellie Shaver gave the gift in honor her husband Delmer Shaver, and son James, who was a student in logging engineering at OSC. James drowned in the Marys River his senior year, February 28, 1926.

Two US Army men, one cadet, wearing post WWI issue high collar jacket with brim cap and high laced leather boots. The second, an officer, probably OAC Staff personnel with later rolled collar (1926 issue) dress jacket and Sam Browne belt. This was a common theme in military photographs depicting the tallest and shortest men in a particular unit.
Machine Gun training post WWI beside the Armory (now McAlexander Fieldhouse). Cadets are seen training with the Browning M1917A1 .303 Water Cooled machine gun. This photo, probably just after WWI shows training cadets in setting up and firing the gun.
Plot in foreground not fertilized. Plot in background fertilized with flowers of sulfur at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre. Antelope Clay Adobe soil.
Plot on left fertilized with superphosphate supplying sulfur at the rate of 100 pounds to the acre. Plot on the right received monocalcic phosphate supplying phosphorus at the same rate as on the superphosphate plot, but no sulfur. Note the dark color and heavy yield of the superphosphate plot, and the poor yield and very light color on the monocalcic plot. Antelope Clay Adobe soil.
Plot on left fertilized with muriate of potash and plot on right with sulfate of potash. The same amount of potash was supplied to the two plots. The muriate of potash contained no sulfur, while the sulfate of potash supplied sulfur at the rate of 100 pounds to the acre. Note the poor yield and light color on the muriate-of-potash plot and the heavy yield and dark color on the sulfate-of-potash plot.
Plot on left fertilized with nitrate of soda and plot on right with sulfate of ammonia. The two plots received exactly the same amount of nitrogen. The sulfate of ammonia also supplied sulfur at the rate of 100 pounds to the acre. Note the remarkable influence of the sulfur in the sulfate of ammonia. Antelope Adobe soil.
Plot on left fertilized with flowers of sulfur at the rate of 100 pounds per acre, producing a very heavy yield and dark green color. Plot on right not fertilized, showing very poor yield and light, yellowish color. Antelope Clay Adobe soil.

Aggie Boy was the name given to the heavy artillery training piece assigned to OAC in the 1920s. This is detailed view of the M1918 155mm Howitzer, a French design from WWI. Cadet leaning on gun carriage at right. The west side of the Armory (Mc Alexander Field House) in background. "Aggie Boy" has been hand painted in black on the barrel of the artillery piece.

Nathan Fasten was born in Austria on December 4, 1887. He grew up in New York City, and graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1910 with a bachelor of science in chemical biology. Fasten studied at the University of Wisconsin as a graduate student from 1911 to 1914, earning a Ph.D. in 1914. Fasten came to Oregon Agricultural College in 1920 as an associate professor of zoology and physiology. The next year he was promoted to professor and department head; he served in that capacity until his resignation from Oregon State College in 1944. He later worked as Chief Scientist for the Washington State Water Pollution Commission in Seattle. Fasten authored many journal articles and books. He was a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Fasten died in Seattle on September 19, 1953.

Construction of the Horse Barn, December 11, 1924. The Horse Barn, built to replace the Octagonal Barn that had burned in September 1924, was very similar in style to the Beef Barn, constructed ten years prior. Both were designed by J. V. Bennes. The three men standing near the fence are D. J. Smith, of Washington State College; William J. Gilmore, Professor of Farm Mechanics at Oregon Agricultural College; and William A. Jensen, OAC's Executive Secretary. The barn, located on Campus Way between 30th and 35th Streets, was torn down in 1971.
Photo depicts a crew of cadets working with the French 75mm cannon on campus. Uniforms are of WWI vintage, artillery cadets were still wearing the campaign hats and wrapped puttees. Caisson is open showing stowage of ammunition and supplies. Good, clear detail of uniforms and equipment.
