Title

John Garman Oral History Interview (2 of 3)

Description

In his second interview, Garman continues talking about the Photographic Service Department. According to him, when the department received the equipment they made it last. Most professors did not show an interest in the department but students were often fascinated. Garman also notes that his interest in photography began when he was enlisted in the Army.

The interview then returns to the subject of Garman's days as a student, noting his involvement as the first president of Eta Kappa Nu fraternity. Garman recalls encountering George Peavy on a hike at Marys Peak as well as going out to take photographs with J.B. Horner.

Other topics featured in this interview include the unification program between OSC and University of Oregon, how the Great Depression affected OSC, and later how World War II affected the college. The interview concludes with a return to the topic of photography. As Garman explains the process to Jennifer Lee, she comments that it is dangerous. Garman replies that many activities are dangerous but that does not impede their advancement.
