O course, the topic w s winner, but her style kept me re ding beginning to end in nticip tion o wh t she w s going to do next. Tell her th nks.

SUZIE WALKER, BEAVER MOM, 20142018 Beneath the Trees Accredit tion s Level II rboretum or the OS c mpus [ s described in “Br nch Out”] is n especi lly oyous event to me. My gr nd- ther E. P. J ckson w s n e rly vision ry reg rding the development o Oregon St te’s c mpus s pl ce o exquisite be uty. While n undergr du te (cl ss o 1904), he person lly dug the holes nd pl nted multiple trees on c mpus, including t le st some th t currently r me the p thw ys through n e stern portion o c mpus grounds between Monroe nd Je erson. A ter he gr du ted nd met my gr ndmother Edith H ll, they returned to Corv llis, nd he worked s n engineering culty member. L ter, s the superintendent o buildings, he ch mpioned the concept o red brick c des on the c mpus buildings to cre te the cl ssic look commonly seen t upsc le e stern universities. He w s extensively involved with the design nd construction o e rly c mpus buildings. My gr nd ther’s vision is now re- lity bec use Oregon St te niversity is truly be uti ul c mpus.
