Among them was Prof. Dr Jože Lenič (28 June 1922 – 14 July 2012), an engineer, leader, and researcher with extensive experience in Slovenian and European industry and research institutions. He joined the Department of Wood Science and Technology in 1973, established the Chair of Chemical Processing of Wood and introduced the new subject of Wood Fibres. As a full professor, he maintained close collaboration with industry and significantly advanced research in wood and fibre science. After his retirement in 1983, he remained connected to the Department, the profession, and his colleagues, reflecting his lifelong dedication to wood and fibresV letu obletnic Oddelka za lesarstvo Biotehniške fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani (OL BF UL) smo se posebej spomnili kolegic in kolegov, ki so orali ledino na področju raziskav in razvojnega dela v lesarstvu, in so pripomogli k nastanku samostojnega oddelka. Med njimi je bil tudi prof. dr. Jože Lenič (28. 6. 1922 – 14. 7. 2012) (slika 1), ki se je kot uveljavljen vodja in raziskovalec z bogatimi delovnimi izkušnjami v Sloveniji in tujini leta 1973 zaposlil na takratnem Lesarskem odseku Gozdarskega oddelka BF UL. Zasnoval je Katedro za kemično predelavo lesa in predmet Lesne vlaknine. Kot redni profesor in učitelj je še naprej sodeloval z industrijo in razvijal stroko. Na OL BF je deloval do upokojitve leta 1983. Po tem se je katedra preimenovala v Katedro za žagarstvo in lesna tvoriva, njegovo delo so nadaljevali prof. dr. Vesna Tišler, prof. dr. Saša Pirkmaier, prof. dr. Franc Merzelj in prof. dr. Jože Resnik (Pirkmaier, 1993; Čufar & Merela, 2025). Ker viri o življenju in delu prof. dr. Leniča niso objavljeni oz. javno dostopni, želimo to nadoknaditi s tem prispevkomTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Biotehniška fakulteta
