George R. Hyslop Memorial Cache

George Hyslop and his wife Susan came to Corvallis, Oregon in the summer of 1908. He was responsible for two important programs at OSU: Oregon's seed certification system, and co-operative studies with federal agriculture workers. Both have had positive and lasting effects on Oregon agriculture.

George Hyslop was a distinguished teacher, a dedicated research investigator and an able administrator. One of his biographers wrote, "George R. Hyslop was a man remarkably free from self interest. Those who knew George Hyslop personally probably forget many of his (great) accomplishments before they forget George Hyslop, the man. He was the friend of every student and every individual with whom he came in contact. He was blessed with a gift of human understanding which made him an outstanding teacher and friend." Characteristically, George died "with his boots on", while on a working trip to Klamath County to inspect seed potatoes, in July, 1943.
