FEI’s headquarters in the ear- ly 1990s was located at OGC’s Science Park business campus contiguous with the university campus. Swanson left OGC in 1987 to devote his full-time ef- forts toward FEI management. Orloff continued his research at the Universi- ty of Maryland. FEI stock went public in 1995 and it became a global competitor in scanning and transmission electron and ion microscopy when it merged with Philips Electron Optics in 1997. The dual-beam microscope quickly be- came an indispensable tool in the mi- croelectronics industry and many other MS&E specialties. The electrical engi- neering and MS&E departments of OGC jointly developed an interdisciplinary master’s degree in electronic packaging in the 1990s. William E. Wood, a 1973 Universi- ty of California, Berkeley alumnus, was hired by OGC president and wood-in- dustry executive Ira Keller in 1974. Wood was named chairman of the MS&E department in 1978 [2] . Keller and his philanthropic family are the name- sakes of two downtown Portland land- marks, the Keller Auditorium and Keller Fountain Park. Lawrence E. Murr, FASM, was an MS&E professor from 1981 to 1989 and the vice president for academic affairs and research from 1981 to 1985. Murr wrote the first edition of “Electron and Ion Microscopy and Microanalysis: Prin- ciples and Applications” while at OGC, one of several books and some 775 ar- ticles he has authored. He left OGC in 1989 to become a chaired professor and the MS&E department chairman at the University of Texas at El Paso. Murr’s re- search at OGC included explosive con- solidation of ferromagnetic particles and superconductors, and other high- strain-rate phenomena [6,7] . HIGH BAY LABORATORY DEBUTS Pacific Power and Light contrib- uted $100,000 and EPRI added another $50,000 to build the High Bay Laborato- ry to house a vacuum arc furnace pro- vided by Oregon Metallurgical Corp., a titanium mill in Albany, to optimize its melting processes. Oregon Steel Mills (OSM) Inc., now Evraz, used the High Bay to develop new heat-treatable steel plate. ESCO Corp., a steel found- ry in Portland, donated an electroslag Fig. 1 — OGC and OGI logos throughout the years.
