● JerryPartain,whohelpedestablishHumboldtState’sForestrybachelor’sdegreeandturn
theprogramintoalongstandingsuccess,diedonJuly4,2016attheageof91.Partainwashiredin1953,whencoffeecoststudents7centsacup,toteachwithEdPierson,amanwhohadrecentlybegunatwo-yearforestrytechnicalprogram.Together,thetwoworkedtoturnforestryintoafour-yearprograminthe1957-58schoolyear(themainimpedimentbeingBerkeley’sdesiretomaintainamonopolyonforestryeducationinCalifornia)andthefirstbatchofstudents—5inJanuary1959and10inJune1959,allreceivedtheirbachelor’sdegreesduringgraduationceremoniesinJune1959(seeBobArchibald’scommentsbelow).OneofthecurriculardistinctionsoftheHSCForestryProgramwastheextensiveuseofweeklyfieldtripsandlaboratoryexerciseswhereasUCBerkeleyandOregonStatereliedonthesummerfieldcampduringthejuniortoseniortransition.Therefore,theHSUforestrygraduatehadextensiveexperiencesworkinginthewoodsasafield,or“dirt”forester.ManyforestproductioncompaniesandforestryconsultingfirmspreferentiallyhiredtheHSCforesterbecauseofthiseducationaltraining.TodaytheHSUForestryProgramstillmaintainsthatfieldforestercurriculum.
InPartain’spublishedrecountingofthehistoryoftheprogram,ForestryatHumboldtState(2004),helaidouttheearlytrialsandtribulationsoftheHSCforestryprogram,fromacquiringthefirsttrucktohaulstudentsouttotimbersitestoanarsonfirethatpartiallydestroyedtheForestryBuildinginlateJanuary1979.TheoriginalForestryBuildingwasopenedinthe1962-63schoolyearandthebeautifulwoodpanelingmadeofspecialplywoodfrommadrone,myrtlewood,redwood,tanoak,Californiablackoak,andchinquapin,alllocalwoods,wasusedextensivelyinthehallways.Unfortunately,thearsonfiredestroyedmostofitandthattypeofpanelingcouldnotbefoundforthepost-firereconstruction.Tongue-and-groovedimensionalwoodswereusedfrommanyofthesametreespecies.
Jerrylefttheuniversityin1983totakeajobasDirectoroftheCaliforniaDepartmentofForestry&FireProtection(nowknownasCalFire).ButduringhistenureatHSUtheForestrydepartmentbecameaccredited(1979)bythenationalSocietyofAmericanForesters.“ThisaccreditationandthesuccessofourgraduateshelpedputHumboldtStateCollegeontheworldmapandhelpedgreatlytoestablishthepresentHumboldtState
