graduating classes of 1978 would meet these competency
requirements for graduation. The Oregon Department of
Education allowed each school district to compile its
own lists of competencies in each of the mandated areas.

The thermal regime of a postulated descending lithospheric slab
is calculated. The gravity anomaly associated with such a structure
is large in amplitude and long in wavelengh. Observed free-air
gravity anomalies in the Pacific Northwest do not indicate a gravitational
effect due to a descending slab.
Two hypothetical compensation models...
This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development
of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a
unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is
given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some
biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...
To bring together in systematic and usable form the bulk of the information dealing with Douglas fir logging costs thus far acquired, so as to make it accessible, is the object of this publication.
Agricultural education at the high school level, like all vocational programs, is expanding vertically as well as horizontally. With this increased emphasis placed on vocational agriculture, the shortage of teachers is already being felt and the situation will, in all probability, become more critical.
The expansion of the programs to...
This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry
Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of
the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876.
Special materials used in this research included three pieces of
Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian
Institution Division...
In this memoir, by alumnus and Zoology Department instructor William J. Gilstrap, the author details various aspects of his life, including: childhood in Missouri, student experience at Oregon Agricultural College (OAC) in the 1890s, and his medical practice in various Oregon locales. Gilstrap also describes in this narrative the origins...
