Humboldt State University by Katy M. Tahja

Perched high atop a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the northernmost campus of the California State University system is celebrating it centennial. The natural environment of forests and oceans provides the perfect setting for hands-on research in forestry, oceanography, wildlife, natural resources, environmental science, resource engineering, and fisheries biology. Begun as a normal school for teacher education, it still provides a full range of credential programs and more than 40 majors for undergraduate and master's degrees, and it is a regional center for the arts. The university is at the forefront of studies on sustainability, green living, and environmental responsibility. "Early Mendocino Coast" was Katy M. Tahja's first book for Arcadia Publishing. Also the author of "Rails Across the Noyo: A Rider's Guide to the Skunk Train" and "All Roads Lead to Comptche", she has been a librarian and local historian on the Mendocino Coast for 35 years. Katy, husband David, and daughter Fern all graduated from Humboldt State University over a 37-year span. In the archives of the Humboldt Room in the university library there are a wealth of photographic images covering the 100 years of campus life that are featured in this book.
