It was really well done. A few things I learned that I didn't know before:
- The original campus radio station KOAC expanded to a television station which eventually became OPB.
- Oregon State Extension Services has been around since the early 1900's.
- Declining enrollment from the depression and WWII led to a proposal to merge OSU and that dump down the road. We told them to suck it. Instead they streamlined programs. We ended up with ag, forestry and engineering. They ended up with a bunch of dirty hippies.

Also, if you are interested in Oregon history, much of it is "untold" in most schools, this link has some very interesting facts and link to others. Some I knew,, but was unaware to the extent of the 'Utopian' based ideals for the state's formation. gizmodo.com/oregon-was-founded-as-a-racist-utopia-1539567040 |
