Description
  • This is a map of OAC's buildings and grounds as proposed by the 1909 Olmsted Plan. The 1909 Olmsted Plan is available in ScholarsArchive@OSU: http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/technical_reports/tt44ps23z. The inscription in the lower right corner of the map was made by Gordon V. Skelton, an OAC engineering faculty member who assisted Arthur L. Peck with creating the map. The inscription provides additional context for the map in relation to the Olmsted Plan. Skelton's inscription probably dates from the 1930s.
Inscription
  • This map is filed with the College Library this 29th day of November because of its historical value. This map was prepared in cooperation by A.L. Peck and G.V. Skelton after consultation and advice with Olstead Brothers of Boston, Mass., at the time they were planning and supervising the grounds of the Alaska-Yukon Exposition at Seattle. It was adopted by the Board of Regents as official and is known as The Olmstead Plans. It was followed in all campus layouts until it was superceded by the Taylor plans about March, 1926. The Taylor Plans are an extension and continuation of the Olmstead Plans made necessary by the growth of the college. The crosshatched areas designating the buildings are not intended to more than indicate location - not shape. The essential feature of these plans is the grouping or quadrangle system in which ilke interest groups are brought together. Note: Olmstead Plans comprise 2 sheets.
