                        --------------------------------
 
                    ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS FOR 1996
 
     The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Union Camp
Corporation  (the 'Company') for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be
held on Tuesday, April 30, 1996,  and any adjournment thereof. Notice of  Annual
Meeting,  proxy statement and proxy  are being mailed to  all stockholders on or
about March  18, 1996.  Proxies  in the  accompanying  form which  are  properly
executed  will be voted and, if a choice is specified with respect to any matter
to  be  acted  upon,  the  shares   will  be  voted  in  accordance  with   such
specification.  If a choice is not specified on such proxies, the shares will be
voted in accordance with  the recommendations of the  Board of Directors as  set
forth  on the accompanying  proxy. Abstentions and  broker non-votes are counted
for quorum  purposes, but  such a  vote  will not  affect the  determination  of
whether  more votes have  been cast in favor  of a proposal  than have been cast
against it. A proxy may  be revoked by the person  giving it at any time  before
its  exercise by  delivering a  later-dated proxy,  written notice  or a written
ballot at the meeting.
 
     The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 4, 1996  as
the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of,
and  to vote  at, the  Annual Meeting.  On March  4, 1996,  69,118,211 shares of
Common Stock of the Company were outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote
on each matter presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.
 
                      PROPOSAL 1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
     The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors
shall be divided into three classes, as  nearly equal in size as possible.  Each
year the directors of one class are elected to serve terms of three years.
 
     Three persons have been nominated by the Board for election as directors at
the  1996 Annual  Meeting to serve  three year  terms of office  and until their
successors are duly  elected. The  nominees will be  elected if  they receive  a
plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting
if  a  quorum (a  majority of  the votes  entitled  to be  cast) is  present. An
abstention is counted for quorum purposes, but is not a vote cast.
 
     The nominees to Class III to serve terms expiring at the Annual Meeting  of
Stockholders  in 1999  are George  D. Busbee, Raymond  E. Cartledge  and Gary E.
MacDougal. All of the nominees are currently Class III directors elected by  the
stockholders at the 1993 Annual Meeting.
 
     James  T. Mills is a director of the Company who will retire from the Board
on April 30, 1996. As of that date, the Board will amend the Company's bylaws to
reduce the number of directors provided for therein from 12 to 11.
 
     Votes (other than votes withheld) will be cast pursuant to the accompanying
proxy for the  election of the  nominees listed  unless, by reason  of death  or
other unexpected occurrence, one or more of such nominees shall not be available
for  election, in which event it is intended  that such votes will be cast for a
substitute nominee or nominees  designated by the Board  of Directors or, if  no
substitute  nominee or nominees are selected by the Board of Directors, to amend
the Company's bylaws to reduce the membership  of the Board of Directors by  the
number  of such nominees  who are not  available for election,  and to elect the
nominees available for election. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe
that any  of  the nominees  listed  will not  be  available for  election  as  a
director.
 
     The  names of the  directors and nominees,  their ages, the  years in which
their terms of office will expire,  their principal occupations during at  least
the  past five  years, other directorships  held and  certain other biographical
information are set forth on the following pages.

                       BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES
 
     In 1995, the Board of Directors held seven meetings. Non-employee directors
receive as compensation for serving on the Board, an annual fee of $23,000  plus
shares  of Company Common Stock awarded  pursuant to the Stock Compensation Plan
for  Non-Employee  Directors   (the  'Stock  Compensation   Plan').  The   Stock
Compensation  Plan  provides  that  immediately  after  each  annual  meeting of
stockholders, each director who is not an employee of the Company shall  receive
the number of whole shares of Company Common Stock provided in the Plan for that
year, or if there is no provision in the Plan for that year, whole shares having
a  fair market value, at  the time of the grant,  of approximately $5,000. In no
event may the fair market value of any annual grant of such stock exceed
 
                                       5

<PAGE>

$40,000 for each non-employee  director. The total  number of shares  of Company
Common Stock that may be awarded under the  Stock Compensation Plan is  150,000.
During 1995 each  non-employee director  received 180  shares of  Company Common
Stock pursuant  to  the Stock  Compensation  Plan which  had a fair market value
of  approximately  $9,000  at  the  time  such  stock  was  granted.  The  Stock
Compensation  Plan  provides that each non-employee  director  shall receive for
1996 shares of Company Common Stock having a fair market value of  approximately
$9,000. Non-employee  directors are also  paid $1,500 for  each  meeting of  the
Board of Directors they attend, $750  for each committee meeting they attend and
$1,000 per year for serving as the Chair of a committee.
 
     The  Board  of Directors  has appointed  an  Audit Committee,  a Personnel,
Compensation and  Nominating Committee,  a Pension  Investment Committee  and  a
Public  Issues Committee,  which are composed  of non-employee  directors of the
Company.
 
     The Audit Committee held  three meetings during  1995. The Audit  Committee
(i)  recommends  to the  Board of  Directors the  independent accountants  to be
appointed for  the Company,  (ii) meets  with the  independent accountants,  the
chief  internal auditor and other corporate  officers to review matters relating
to  corporate  financial  reporting  and  accounting  procedures  and  policies,
adequacy  of financial, accounting  and operating controls and  the scope of the
audits of the independent accountants  and internal auditors, (iii) reviews  and
reports on the results of such audits to the Board of Directors, (iv) submits to
the  Board of Directors its recommendations  relating to financial reporting and
accounting practices  and  policies  and  financial,  accounting  and  operating
controls  and (v) considers the impact  on the Company's financial statements or
condition of  any  infraction  of  laws,  regulations  or  policies,  compliance
oversight being the responsibility of the Public Issues Committee.
 
     The  Personnel, Compensation  and Nominating  Committee held  four meetings
during 1995.  The Personnel,  Compensation and  Nominating Committee  (i)  makes
recommendations  to the Board concerning the election of the Company's officers,
(ii) reviews the compensation  plans and sets the  compensation for officers  of
the  Company, (iii) awards incentive compensation and bonuses to officers of the
Company, (iv) administers the Company's  stock option plans and awards  options,
restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and bonuses payable in stock and (v)
recommends  to the  Board the  members and the  Chairs of  Board Committees. The
Personnel, Compensation and  Nominating Committee also  recommends to the  Board
candidates  for election as directors, and will consider nominees recommended by
stockholders. Such  recommendations  should  be  submitted  in  writing  to  the
Secretary   of  the  Company  with  a  description  of  the  proposed  nominee's
qualifications and other  relevant biographical information,  and the  nominee's
consent to serve as a director.
 
     The  Company's bylaws provide  that any stockholder  who wishes to nominate
any person  for election  as a  director at  the Annual  Meeting must  give  the
Company's  Secretary written notice of  such intent at least  sixty (60) days in
advance of the date established in the  bylaws as the day of the annual  meeting
(the  last  Tuesday  in  April  of each  year).  Such  notice  must  contain the
information required by the bylaws  including information regarding each  person
to  be nominated as would be required to  be included in a proxy statement filed
pursuant to the proxy  rules of the Securities  and Exchange Commission had  the
person been nominated by the Board of Directors.
 
     The Pension Investment Committee held two meetings during 1995. The Pension
Investment  Committee periodically reviews  the activities of  the management of
the Company in supervising the investment of the Company's pension funds.
 
     The Public  Issues Committee  held four  meetings during  1995. The  Public
Issues  Committee, in  its discretion (i)  inquires into and  reviews any matter
involving the conduct of the Company's  business which affects the public or  in
which  the public has  a strong interest, (ii)  recommends policies and programs
which further the  interests of the  Company to the  Board and/or the  Company's
management,  (iii) provides oversight  with respect to  the Company's compliance
activities as to environmental,  health and safety,  employment and other  legal
standards of conduct, and (iv) reports to the Board on matters believed to be of
significance to the Board.
 
     Non-employee directors may elect to defer for such period as they determine
all or part of their directors' retainer and meeting fees in which case interest
is  earned on the deferred amounts at the  rate equal to the average yield on 91
day U.S. Treasury bills for the preceding period of December 1 through
 
                                       6

November 30  compounded  annually.  Upon retirement from the Board of Directors,
any director who is not an employee of the  Company and  who has  completed five
years  of  service  as  a  non-employee  director  receives an annual retirement
benefit  equal  to  the  sum of 50%  of  the  director's annual retainer  on the
retirement  date,  plus  10%  of  such  retainer multiplied by the number of the
director's full years of service in excess  of five  but  not in  excess  of ten
years.  Such  retirement  benefit  is  unfunded  and is paid annually out of the
Company's general assets  until  the total  number of annual payments equals the
number  of  the  director's  years  of  service.  If the  director  dies  before
receiving all the retirement benefits he would have been entitled to receive had
he  lived, a  lump  sum  death benefit equal to the present value of such annual
retirement  benefits remaining unpaid is payable to his beneficiary.

     Directors  who are employees  of the Company do  not receive any additional
compensation by reason of their membership on, or attendance at meetings of, the
Board or committees thereof.

(1) An identical number of stock appreciation rights was granted in tandem  with
    these  options on November  27, 1995. The options  (and related SARs) become
    exercisable two years from  the date of grant,  i.e., on November 27,  1997.
    The  SARs include limited rights which permit  the settlement of the SARs in
    cash, without regard  to the  date on which  the option  otherwise would  be
    exercisable, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events.
 
(2) The  exercise price is the fair market  value of the underlying stock on the
    date of the option grant.
 
(3) The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at  0%
    and  at the 5% and 10% rates set by the SEC and are not intended to forecast
    possible future appreciation, if any, of Union Camp's Common Stock.
 
(4) Union Camp Common Stock would be trading at $80.59 per share for the  values
    shown  to be realizable, an  increase in stock price  which will benefit all
    stockholders commensurately.
 
(5) Union Camp Common Stock would be trading at $128.05 per share for the values
    shown to be realizable,  an increase in stock  price which will benefit  all
    stockholders commensurately.
 
(6) As  of  November 30,  1995, there  were 69,331,978  shares of  the Company's
    Common Stock outstanding.  The calculations  shown herein are  based on  the
    assumed  rates of price appreciation,  compounded annually, from the stock's
    fair market value of  $49.4375 on November 27,  1995 when the above  options
    were granted.
 
(7) The amounts shown are based on the assumed rates of appreciation, compounded
    annually,  from the stock's fair market value of (i) $50.0625 on May 1, 1995
    for 10,000 options granted  on that date and  (ii) $49.4375 on November  27,
    1995 for 654,400 options granted on that date.

(1) Value  is the  difference between the  market value of  the Company's Common
    Stock on  the date  of exercise  or December  29, 1995,  i.e., $47.4375  per
    share, and the exercise price.
 
(2) SARs  were granted  in tandem with  options and, therefore,  the exercise of
    SARs reduces the number of shares subject to the related option.
 
                            REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL,
                     COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE
                           ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
THE COMMITTEE'S FUNCTION
 
     The Personnel, Compensation and  Nominating Committee (the 'Committee')  is
composed  entirely of independent, non-employee directors. The Committee reviews
and approves each element  of the Company's  executive compensation program  and
assesses the effectiveness of the program as a whole. The Committee approves the
salaries  of the  Company's Chief  Executive Officer  (the 'CEO')  and its other
executive officers, makes awards under  the Executive Annual Incentive Plan  and
the  Policy Group Restricted Stock Performance Plan and grants stock options and
SARs under the 1989 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan.
 
OBJECTIVES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
 
     The executive compensation program is designed to: (a) attract, retain  and
motivate  talented executives to  work on behalf  of shareholders, the Company's
employees, customers and the communities within which the Company operates;  (b)
provide  compensation at levels that are  competitive with those provided in the
various markets where Union Camp competes  for executive resources; (c) place  a
significant  portion  of executive  pay at  risk; and  (d) recognize  and reward
exceptional accomplishments. The Company's CEO participates in the same programs
and receives  compensation based  on the  same factors  as the  other  executive
officers.
 
     The  Committee considered the deductibility of executive compensation under
Section 162(m) of  the Internal  Revenue Code shortly  after it  was enacted  in
1993. Under this provision, beginning in 1994 a publicly held corporation is not
permitted  to deduct compensation in excess of one million dollars per year paid
to the CEO and the other executive officers named in the proxy statement  except
to  the extent  the compensation was  paid under compensation  plans meeting tax
code requirements to be considered performance-based. At that time the Committee
took steps to qualify compensation realized  upon the exercise of stock  options
granted  under the 1989  Stock Option and Stock  Award Plan as performance-based
pursuant to Section 162(m). The Committee also determined that, in reviewing the
design of and  administering the executive  compensation program, the  Committee
will  continue  in  the future  to  preserve  the Company's  tax  deductions for
executive compensation unless this goal conflicts with the primary objectives of
the Company's  compensation program  or  the amount  of  tax deduction  lost  is
insignificant.  The Committee reviewed the deductibility in 1995 of compensation
paid to the CEO

and  other  named  executive  officers,  found  the  deductibility  lost  to  be
insignificant  and determined it will consider  modifying parts of the executive
compensation program to qualify under Section 162(m).
 
     The Committee also seeks an  appropriate balance among program  objectives.
Particular attention is paid to the two key objectives discussed below.
 
     PROVIDING COMPETITIVE LEVELS OF COMPENSATION
 
     The  Committee intends to provide the Company's CEO and its executives with
total compensation  that, at  targeted levels  of performance,  according to  an
independent  compensation  consultant,  is  competitive  with  the  median total
compensation earned by executives who hold comparable positions or have  similar
qualifications  in the  paper and  forest products  industry and  within general
industry for companies  of comparable  size. The Company  has historically  used
this  comparison group which differs from and is larger than the peer group used
in the Stock Performance Graph on page  15 because the Company feels the  larger
group  better  represents  the market  within  which it  competes  for executive
talent. To  determine  median  competitive  levels of  base  salary  and  target
incentive  compensation, the Committee regularly  reviews information drawn from
various sources, including  proxy statements, industry  surveys and  independent
compensation  consultants.  The Committee  examines  specific salary  and target
incentive recommendations for Union Camp's  CEO and other officers,  considering
each  position's relative  content, accountability,  scope of  responsibility as
well as the individual's performance and experience. While the targeted value of
an executive's total compensation is set annually at median competitive  levels,
a  large portion of a senior executive's compensation is at risk and will exceed
or fall  below the  targeted  levels depending  on actual  performance  measured
against predetermined objectives.
 
     ENSURING THAT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION VARIES WITH PERFORMANCE
 
     Union  Camp's annual  incentive plan is  designed to  ensure that incentive
compensation is predictable with the financial and strategic performance of  the
Company  and/or its business units  as measured against predetermined objectives
which are approved annually by the Committee. Awards paid under the Policy Group
Restricted Stock  Performance Plan  take into  account the  Company's  long-term
financial  performance. Because  the Company's  incentive plans  serve different
purposes, they use different performance measures and periods.
 
OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND 1995 COMMITTEE ACTIONS
 
     The Company's executive compensation program for its CEO and the other four
most highly compensated  executive officers  shown in  the Summary  Compensation
Table (the 'named executive officers') has four principal elements: base salary,
the   Executive  Annual  Incentive  Plan,  the  Policy  Group  Restricted  Stock
Performance Plan and  the Stock Option  Plan. Following is  an overview of  each
program element and what actions the Committee took in 1995.
 
BASE SALARY
 
     Base  salaries  are intended  to be  externally competitive  and internally
equitable. They reflect an individual's sustained performance and length of time
in the  position. Base  salary  levels are  adjusted  periodically based  on  an
individual's  performance and  the external  market. Base  salaries are annually
targeted at median  base salary levels  for similar positions  in the paper  and
forest  products industry  and in general  industry for  companies of comparable
size. Base salaries may exceed the  targeted averages if warranted by  sustained
performance.
 
     1995  Action: Effective  January 1,  1995, the  base salaries  of the named
executive officers  excluding the  CEO and  the COO  were increased  7.1%.  This
increase was the amount recommended by the CEO to maintain competitive salaries.
The  Committee noted that the report  of its independent compensation consultant
said that, following the  increase, the base salaries  of these named  executive
officers  were  at  appropriate  target  median  levels  compared  with  similar
positions in the above-mentioned comparison group.
 
                                       12
 
<PAGE>
 
<PAGE>
     Effective July 1, 1995, the CEO and COO received salary increases of  13.2%
and  13.0% respectively. After the increases  their base salaries were below the
competitive  median  salaries   recommended  by   the  Committee's   independent
consultant.  Future salary  increases are  expected to  bring their  salaries to
fully competitive levels.
 
THE EXECUTIVE ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     The amount of the incentive compensation targeted for the CEO and the named
executive officers  under the  Executive  Annual Incentive  Plan is  the  median
competitive   annual  incentive  compensation   recommended  by  an  independent
compensation consultant. The recommended median is based on the annual incentive
compensation paid to comparable  positions by the  comparison group referred  to
under  the caption 'Providing competitive levels of compensation'. The incentive
targeted assumes (i) the  Company and/or key business  units will achieve  their
annual  financial plans and (ii) the CEO  and the named executive officers, as a
group, achieve predetermined operating and strategic goals that are  established
as part of the Company's annual planning and budgetary process. At the beginning
of each year the Committee reviews the operating and strategic goals established
for  the  CEO and  the named  executive officers  and the  financial performance
measures for  the Company  and its  key business  units. The  Committee has  the
discretion to pay awards in cash or up to 50% in the Company's Common Stock.
 
     Executives'  awards  are tied  to the  financial performance  measures most
appropriate to their responsibilities.  To reinforce the  need for teamwork  and
focus  attention on overall corporate objectives, each participant has a portion
of his award tied  to the financial  performance measures for  the Company as  a
whole,  defined  by  earnings per  share.  The  portion of  the  award  based on
financial  performance  measures   for  Mr.  McClelland,   Mr.  Ballengee,   Mr.
Boekenheide  and Mr. Reed  is determined solely by  corporate earnings per share
results, while Mr. Trice  has some of his  award based on financial  performance
measures  linked to the  performance of the  key business units  for which he is
responsible.
 
     1995 Action:  At the  beginning  of 1995  the Committee  determined  target
incentives  for the  CEO and the  named executive officers.  Since the Company's
1995 earnings per share results  substantially exceeded the corporate  financial
performance measures established, the portion of the targeted incentive based on
corporate  financial  performance measures  was increased  by 40%.  The earnings
results of  the key  business units  for  which Mr.  Trice is  responsible  also
exceeded  the  financial performance  measures  established and,  therefore, his
targeted incentive was adjusted  accordingly. In addition,  at the beginning  of
1995,  the Committee  established a number  of specific  operating and strategic
goals which were weighted and which the CEO and the named executive officers had
to accomplish as  a team in  order to  receive the targeted  awards after  those
target  awards were adjusted for actual  earnings results. The Committee regards
the  specific  operating   and  strategic  goals   as  competitively   sensitive
information. Since the CEO and named executive officers as a team exceeded these
goals  the Committee approved a further increase in their incentives. Therefore,
the annual  bonus  payment shown  in  the  Summary Compensation  Table  for  Mr.
McClelland, Mr. Ballengee, Mr. Boekenheide and Mr. Reed represents 150% of their
target  incentives  for  1995. The  annual  bonus  payment shown  for  Mr. Trice
reflects the  adjustment made  on account  of the  earnings results  of the  key
business units for which he is responsible as well as overall corporate results.
 
THE POLICY GROUP RESTRICTED STOCK PERFORMANCE PLAN
 
     Under  the  Policy  Group  Restricted  Stock  Performance  Plan,  long term
incentives are earned by the CEO and  the other members of the Company's  policy
committee when the Company attains specific earnings and return on capital goals
that  are  equally weighted  and are  determined,  respectively, by  an earnings
forecasting formula and a return  on capital ranking that  must be in the  upper
half  of  a competitor  group of  14  major paper  and packaging  companies. The
competitor group differs and  is larger than  the peer group  used in the  Stock
Performance  Graph which,  at selection, consisted  of the companies  in the Dow
Jones Paper  Group  Index because  the  Company has  historically  compared  its
financial  performance against this larger competitor group. Awards earned under
this plan are made in restricted shares of  Common Stock that vest at a rate  of
20%  per  year over  5 years.  The objective  of  this plan  is to  focus senior
management's attention  on two  critical factors  affecting the  Company's  long
 
                                       13
 
<PAGE>
 
<PAGE>
term  performance (earnings per share and return on capital) and reward them for
making successful  long term  decisions.  The value  of  these awards  may  vary
considerably based on Union Camp's stock price performance.
 
     1995  Action: The Company's return on capital ranking among the group of 14
paper and packaging competitors was 4th  place which resulted in an award  equal
to  18.3%  of the  CEO's and  the  other named  executive officers'  annual base
salaries in effect at the end of January 1996 when the awards were granted.  The
Company's  earnings  per  share  for  1995  substantially  exceeded  the  Plan's
forecasted target resulting in Mr.  McClelland and the named executive  officers
each  receiving the maximum award equal to 48%  of the amount of his annual base
salary as in effect  at the end  of January 1996 when  the awards were  granted.
These  awards were granted in  restricted stock which will  vest 20% a year over
the next five years.
 
THE 1989 STOCK OPTION AND STOCK AWARD PLAN
 
     Stock options are the final element  of the Company's compensation for  its
CEO  and executive  officers. Stock options  are normally  granted annually. The
primary objective  of issuing  stock options  is to  encourage the  CEO and  the
officers  of  the Company  to maintain  an  equity interest  in the  Company and
provide financial  rewards linked  to the  future performance  of the  Company's
Common Stock.
 
     1995  Action:  The starting  point for  the  determination of  stock option
awards for  each of  the CEO  and the  named executive  officers is  the  median
competitive  total  compensation  for comparable  positions  recommended  by the
independent compensation consultant (as  discussed under the caption  'Providing
competitive  levels of compensation'  on page 12).  The Committee approved stock
option grants in  November 1995 that  were determined by  offsetting the  median
competitive total compensation reported by the consultant by the CEO's and named
executive   officers'  base  salaries,  and  their  Annual  Incentive  Plan  and
Restricted Stock  Performance  Plan target  awards.  For this  calculation,  the
expected  present  value  of  the  stock option  grants  was  determined  by the
independent consultant  using  a  version  of  the  Black-Scholes  formula.  The
Committee  expects to use the  same methodology each year  and does not consider
the amount  of  stock options  previously  awarded because  it  considers  stock
options  to be primarily compensatory. The stock  options granted to the CEO and
the other named executives during 1995 are  shown in the Option Grants table  on
page 10.
 
SUMMARY
 
     The  Company's  emphasis on  variable  pay and  the  compensation programs'
direct link to both short and long-term financial performance, as well as  stock
performance, tie executive pay to critical measures of corporate performance.

     The  graph below compares the cumulative  total shareholder return of Union
Camp Common Stock, the S&P 500 Composite  -- 500 Stock Index and two indices  of
peer  groups of paper companies, for the period of five years beginning December
31, 1990 and ending December 29, 1995 (assuming that the value of the investment
in Union Camp Common Stock and each index was $100 on December 31, 1990 and that
all dividends were reinvested). One peer group index is comprised of 9 medium to
large  sized  companies   (Boise  Cascade,   Bowater,  Champion   International,
Consolidated  Papers, Federal Paper Board, P.H. Glatfelter, International Paper,
Mead, and Westvaco) whose primary business is the manufacture and sale of  paper
products. The other peer group index is comprised of the same companies with the
sole  exception  of Federal  Paper  Board which  is  being excluded  due  to its
agreement to merge  with International  Paper. Peer group  returns are  weighted
each  year based on each company's market capitalization at the beginning of the
year.

     The Company's return on capital employed is one of the performance measures
considered  by  the   Personnel,  Compensation  and   Nominating  Committee   in
determining a portion of the incentives earned under the Policy Group Restricted
Stock  Performance Plan. Return on capital  employed means net income divided by
the sum of long-term  debt, deferred income taxes  and stockholders' equity.  In
making  its incentive  awards, the  Committee compared  the Company's  return on
capital during the period  October 1, 1994 through  September 30, 1995 with  the
return  on capital employed of 13  paper and packaging companies (Boise Cascade,
Champion  International,  Chesapeake,  Federal  Paper  Board,  Georgia  Pacific,
International   Paper,   Mead,   Potlatch,   Stone   Container,   Temple-Inland,
Weyerhauser, Westvaco and Willamette) for the same period and Union Camp  ranked
fourth.  When Union Camp's return on capital employed for the calendar year 1995
was compared to  the returns realized  by the  same group for  1995, Union  Camp
ranked third. This is illustrated in the chart below. In all cases the return on
capital employed was calculated by using 1995 net income for the relevant period
as  the numerator and  year end 1994  long-term debt, deferred  income taxes and
stockholders' equity as the denominator.

RETIREMENT PLANS
 
     The Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees is a defined benefit plan and is
funded solely by Company  contributions. The calculation  of benefits under  the
Retirement  Plan is based upon average  earnings, which include salary, overtime
and vacation payments,  bonuses and incentive  compensation received during  the
highest  60 consecutive  months of the  120 months  preceding retirement ('Final
Average  Earnings').  The  amount  of  the  retirement  benefit  provided  to  a
participating  employee under the Retirement Plan  equals the product of the sum
of 1.05% of  the participating employee's  Final Average Earnings  plus .45%  of
those Final Average Earnings in excess of the average applicable Social Security
wage  base  at the  date of  retirement, multiplied  by the  number of  years of
credited service of the  employee with the Company  or one of its  participating
subsidiaries.  Benefits  under  the  Retirement  Plan  are  not  subject  to any
deduction for Social Security  benefits or other offset  amounts. To the  extent
that  retirement  benefits payable  exceed limitations  imposed by  the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 'Code'), with respect to payments from tax
qualified trusts, such excess  amounts will not be  paid from a qualified  trust
fund  but will be  paid by the Company  on an unfunded basis  out of its general
assets.
 
     The Company has adopted a Supplemental Retirement Income Plan for Executive
Officers (the 'Plan')  under which  the Personnel,  Compensation and  Nominating
Committee  of the  Board of  Directors (the 'Committee')  may from  time to time
designate certain executive  officers as covered  participants if such  officers
are  (i) members  of the  Company's policy committee  and/or (ii)  hired at mid-
career and responsible for a significant segment of the Company's business.  The
Plan  currently covers  ten policy  committee members.  The Plan  provides for a
minimum pension  upon retirement  at age  65 (or  earlier with  approval of  the
Committee)  following at least 10  years of service of  40% of the participant's
average annual  earnings, which  include salary,  vacation payments  and  annual
target  bonus,  during  the highest  60  consecutive  months of  the  120 months
preceding retirement ('Average Pension Compensation') which increases by 1  1/2%
for  each year of additional  service up to a maximum  of 55% of Average Pension
Compensation after 20 years of service. Payments under the Plan will be  reduced
by (i) pensions under the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and the related
Supplemental  Retirement Plan, (ii)  any other pensions which  may be payable by
other employers and  (iii) one-half  of the  amount of  primary Social  Security
benefits.   If  an  officer  engages   in  certain  competitive  activity  after
retirement, benefits under the Plan will  terminate. The Plan provides that  Mr.
McClelland  shall receive a  minimum annual pension  equal to the  higher of the
Plan's benefit  or  the  sum of  $22,400  plus  any pension  payable  under  the
Retirement  Plan for Salaried Employees  and the related Supplemental Retirement
Plan.
 
     The following table shows the approximate annual pensions payable under all
the plans described to the executive officers named in the Summary  Compensation
Table  assuming retirement  at age  65, whose  Average Pension  Compensation and
years of service at  retirement would be in  the classifications indicated.  The
amounts  shown have not been reduced by  any pension payable by another employer
or Social Security benefits which are offsets to the pensions payable under  the
Supplemental Retirement Income Plan for Executive Officers.

     The  calculation of the amounts shown  assumes that the employee remains in
the service of the  Company or one of  its participating subsidiaries until  age
65,  that the retirement program  is continued in its  present form and that the
individual receives the benefits  in the form  of a single  life annuity. As  of
December  31, 1995, Messrs.  Ballengee, Boekenheide, McClelland,  Reed and Trice
were credited with 14, 19,  7, 26 and 32  years of service, respectively,  under
the Retirement Plan, including credit for prior service with a subsidiary of the
Company in the case of Mr. Reed. The current compensation covered by the Plan is
$665,000  for Mr.  Ballengee; $392,000 for  Mr. Boekenheide;  $1,051,000 for Mr.
McClelland; $517,000 for Mr. Reed; and $462,000 for Mr. Trice.

SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS
 
     The individuals  named in  the Summary  Compensation Table  and five  other
executive  officers  have  executed  individual  severance  agreements  with the
Company. Each agreement provides that if, during the two-year period following a
'change in  control of  the  Company,' the  Company terminates  the  executive's
employment  without  'cause'  (other  than for  'disability')  or  the executive
terminates his employment for  'good reason' (as such  terms are defined in  the
severance  agreements),  the  executive  will  receive  from  the  Company  as a
severance benefit  a  lump sum  payment  equal to  two  times the  sum  of  such
executive's  annual  salary  and  two  times  the  amount  of  his  normal bonus
opportunity (as such term is defined in the severance agreements). An  executive
officer  would also be entitled to continue to receive certain welfare insurance
benefits for two years. The Company will also make an additional payment to  the
executive to ensure that the components of the severance benefit described above
that  are multiples of salary and bonus will not be subject to net reduction due
to the imposition of excise taxes under section 4999 of the Code. The individual
severance agreements provide  for the  distribution to the  executives of  their
benefits  under the Company's Supplemental  Retirement Plan promptly following a
'change in control  of the  Company.' If a  lump sum  severance benefit  becomes
payable,  each executive officer party to such an individual severance agreement
shall receive an  additional pension  equal to  the difference  between (1)  the
pension  he would have received under the Company's Retirement Plan for Salaried
Employees (including any retirement benefits in excess of limitations imposed by
the Code paid on an unfunded basis from the Company's general assets) if he were
credited with two additional  years of service under  the Retirement Plan at  an
annual  compensation in each such year equal to his annual salary and his normal
annual bonus opportunity (as such terms are defined in the severance agreement),
and (2) the pension actually payable to him under the Retirement Plan.

                        STOCKHOLDER RESOLUTION REGARDING
                    ENDORSEMENT OF THE CERES PRINCIPLES FOR
                      PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTABILITY
 
WHEREAS WE BELIEVE:
 
     Responsible  implementation  of  a  sound,  credible  environmental  policy
increases long-term shareholder value by raising efficiency, decreasing clean-up
costs,   reducing   litigation,   and  enhancing   public   image   and  product
attractiveness;
 
     Adherence to public standards for environmental performance gives a company
greater public credibility than following  standards created by industry  alone.
For  maximum  credibility and  usefulness,  such standards  should  reflect what
investors and other stakeholders want to know about the environmental records of
their companies;
 
     Companies are increasingly  being expected by  investors to do  meaningful,
regular, comprehensive and impartial environmental reports. These help investors
and  the  public  to  understand environmental  progress  and  problems. Uniform
standards for environmental reports permit comparisons of performance over time.
They also  attract new  capital  from investors  seeking investments  which  are
environmentally   responsible  and   responsive  and  which   minimize  risk  of
environmental liability.
 
WHEREAS:
 
     The Coalition for  Environmentally Responsible Economies  (CERES) --  which
comprises  shareholders of  this Company;  public interest  representatives, and
environmental experts  --  consulted  with corporations  to  produce  the  CERES
Principles  as comprehensive public standards for both environmental performance
and reporting.  Over 90  companies, including  Sun [Oil],  General Motors,  H.B.
Fuller,  and  Polaroid,  have  endorsed these  principles  to  demonstrate their
commitment to  public environmental  accountability. Fortune-500  endorsers  say
that  benefits of working  with CERES are  public credibility; 'value-added' for
the company's environmental initiatives; and  advancement for the company's  own
environmental program.
 
In endorsing the CERES Principles, a company commits to work toward:

[Full text of the CERES Principles and accompanying CERES Report Form obtainable
from CERES, 711 Atlantic Avenue, Boston MA 02110, tel: 617/451-0927].
 
RESOLVED: Shareholders request the Company to endorse the CERES Principles as a
          part of its commitment to be publicly accountable for its
          environmental impact.
 
                              SUPPORTING STATEMENT
 
     Many investors support this resolution. Those sponsoring it have portfolios
totaling  $75 billion. Others voting FOR it bring shareholder votes to 20-30% at
some companies. The number  of public pension  funds and foundations  supporting
this  resolution  increases  every  year.  The  objectives  are:  standards  for
environmental performance and disclosure; methods for measuring progress  toward
these  goals; and a format for public  reporting of progress. We believe this is
comparable to the European Community  regulation for voluntary participation  in
verified and publicly-reported eco-management and auditing, and fully compatible
with ISO 14000 certification.
 
     Endorsing the CERES Principles requires: (1) a letter stating the company's
endorsement,  signed  by  a  senior officer;  (2)  commitment  to  implement the
Principles; and (3) an  annual environmental report in  the format of the  CERES
Report.  This complements --  not supplants --  internal corporate environmental
policies and procedures.

     Your vote  FOR  this  resolution  will encourage  public  scrutiny  of  our
Company's  environmental policies and reports  and adherence to standards upheld
by management and stakeholders alike.
 
                      MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION
        THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.
 
     Long before  the  CERES  Coalition  was  formed,  Union  Camp  had  made  a
commitment   to  environmental  responsibility  and  sound  resource  management
strategies. That commitment continues  today. Union Camp is  a participant in  a
number of industry programs with operational principles specifically tailored to
the  businesses we  conduct and the  Company has  voluntarily initiated programs
that go beyond legal requirements.  These programs are particularly well  suited
to  making  safety and  stewardship of  the environment  part of  our day-to-day
focus.
 
     The Company  shares the  views  of the  proponent  that a  sound,  credible
environmental  policy  can  increase  long-term  stockholder  value.  However, a
significant difference between  the Company's  current environmental  commitment
and  the CERES Principles is the production of a report prescribed by CERES in a
format that is  not tailored  to the Company's  operations. It  is expensive  to
compile,  but adds  little to our  environmental and safety  effort. Rather, the
Company believes  it  is  more  prudent  for  it  to  report  its  environmental
performance through its own initiatives in ways that represent all stockholders.
For  example, the Company's publicly  available environmental report, Union Camp
and the  Environment:  Nuturing  the Legacy,  highlights  our  performance,  our
progress  and our commitment to environmental  quality. In addition, the Company
works with several  community advisory  councils in those  communities where  we
have  a significant presence to regularly  report our environmental progress and
to hear the concerns of our neighbors.
 
     The Company is a participant in the American Forest and Paper Association's
('AF&PA') Environmental Health and Safety Principles which guide the actions  of
paper   and  forest  products  companies   in  land  stewardship,  environmental
performance, energy conservation,  education, training, research,  communication
and  reporting. Union Camp has adopted these  principles as its own and annually
certifies its  compliance with  these principles  as a  condition of  its  AF&PA
membership.  The  Company's  Chemical Group  is  a participant  in  the Chemical
Manufacturers Association ('CMA') Responsible Care Program'r' which commits  the
Company,   as  a  condition  of  its  CMA  membership,  to  continually  improve
performance in  the  areas of  health,  safety and  environmental  quality.  The
Company  helped  develop  the  AF&PA's  Sustainable  Forestry  Initiative  which
includes commitments for increased  research and development, implementation  of
enhanced   wildlife   habitat   improvement   programs,   prompt  reforestation,
conservation of biological diversity, improved  water quality and protection  of
unique and special sites. The Company has also agreed to support the Sustainable
Forestry Initiative as a condition of membership in the AF&PA.
 
     In  addition to these industry programs,  Union Camp has voluntarily joined
the EPA's 33/50 program  to reduce emissions of  toxic air pollutants and  EPA's
Green  Lights  program  which  involves switching  to  more  efficient lighting.
Further, Union  Camp  creates its  own  programs to  address  its  environmental
responsibilities.  Union Camp's  continuing research and  development efforts in
water conservation methods led to the development and commercialization of a new
bleaching process which has important environmental advantages. The Company  has
also  been a  leader in  corporate land  conservation efforts.  Through its Land
Legacy program,  the Company  has donated  over  84,000 acres  of land  for  the
protection  of historical, recreational  or ecological values  over the last two
decades.  The  Company  continues  its  support  of  conservation  through   the
sponsorship  of the Alexander  Calder Conservation Award  and the Gene Cartledge
Award  for  Excellence  in   Environmental  Education.  Through  these   awards,
administered in cooperation with The Conservation Fund, a national environmental
organization,  individuals are  recognized and  encouraged for  their efforts in
wildlife habitat protection and environmental education achievement.
 
     Union Camp's commitments under these varied programs are substantially  the
same  as  those  called  for  by the  CERES  Principles,  but  our  approach has
additional benefits. First, when the Company  determines to commit to a  program
it  does so because it believes  such action is in the  best interest of all its
shareholders not just a single group. Second,  there is a pride of ownership  in
the Company's
 
                                       19
 
<PAGE>
 
<PAGE>
programs  which  have  been  designed  and  implemented  by  our  employees,  in
cooperation with other  stakeholders. These  programs are not  static; they  are
evolutionary,  changing as  challenges are  met and  new issues  arise. This has
resulted in our work force having a level of commitment which would be difficult
to achieve if the Company adopted a  third party's vision. Third, we believe  we
are  allocating our resources  for maximum effectiveness.  The industry programs
help to keep our knowledge current and  allow us to share solutions with  others
facing  similar issues.  Our own  programs make  environmental responsibility an
integral part  of  our every  day  business.  Thus, the  Company  believes  that
endorsing   the  CERES  Principles  would  add   costs  but  not  value  to  its
environmental accomplishments and continuing commitment.
 
     Accordingly,  the  Board  of  Directors  recommends  a  vote  AGAINST  this
proposal.  The accompanying proxy will be voted AGAINST the stockholder proposal
unless a contrary specification is made. The stockholder proposal will have been
adopted if more votes are cast in favor of it than are cast against it.
 
                       PROPOSAL 4 -- STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
 
     A stockholder  has informed  the Company  that it  intends to  present  the
proposal  set forth  below at the  Annual Meeting.  The name and  address of the
stockholder and the number  of shares of Common  Stock held by such  stockholder
will  be furnished orally or in writing,  as requested, promptly upon receipt of
any request. Such request  may be directed to  Dirk R. Soutendijk, Secretary  of
the Company.
 
     Your  Board of Directors  has carefully reviewed  the following stockholder
proposal and recommends a vote AGAINST it.
 
                  STOCKHOLDER RESOLUTION REGARDING PHASEOUT OF
                     CHLORINE FROM PAPER PRODUCTION PROCESS
 
     WHEREAS Union  Camp  Corp.  seeks  to  be  an  environmentally  responsible
business;  however the pulp  manufacturing process used  by the company involves
the use of organochlorines which result in unwanted by-products such as  dioxins
and furans found to be harmful to human health and the environment;
 
     WHEREAS  dioxins  and  furans  that  bioaccumulate  and/or  persist  in the
environment can result in or contribute to reproductive failure, birth  defects,
developmental  impairment,  hormonal  disruption,  behavioral  disorders, immune
suppression and cancer at low doses, and mixtures of these substances may  cause
these effects at even lower doses;
 
     WHEREAS  the American  Public Health  Association has  endorsed phaseout of
chlorine-based bleaches in the  pulp and paper industry;  in addition, in  1994,
the  International  Joint Commission  on the  Great  Lakes recommended  that the
United States and Canada develop a timetable  to sunset the use of chlorine  and
chlorine-containing  compounds  in industrial  feedstocks.  The IJC  Great Lakes
Water Quality Agreement states 'we conclude that persistent toxic substances are
too dangerous to  the biosphere and  to humans  to permit their  release in  any
quantity . . . . The limits on allowable quantities of these substances entering
the  environment must be effectively zero, and the primary means to achieve zero
should be the prevention of their production, use and release rather than  their
subsequent removal;'
 
     WHEREAS  the  favored  method of  preventing  continued  contamination from
persistent or bioaccumulative toxic substances is to phase out their  production
and  use over  time. Safe alternative  methods of pulp  manufacturing exist with
totally chlorine free paper production processes in use at several dozen  plants
worldwide;
 
     WHEREAS  some paper companies have had  to pay costly settlements of claims
of injury allegedly caused by dioxin  and furan exposure which could  negatively
impact shareholder value;
 
     WHEREAS  our company has already recognized the threat posed by dioxins and
furans by significantly reducing the use of organochlorines;
 
     RESOLVED that the shareholders request the company establish a schedule for
the total phaseout  of processes involving  the use of  organocholorines in  its
pulp and paper manufacturing processes.
 
                                       20
 
<PAGE>
 
<PAGE>
                              SUPPORTING STATEMENT
 
     The  company's actions to reduce  organochlorines and the resulting dioxins
are commendable but current science suggests that no safe or acceptable exposure
to dioxin  exists.  The  company  could be  materially  affected  by  plaintiffs
downstream from company facilities seeking damages from dioxin exposure. Dioxins
have  been shown  to be  extremely toxic substances.  If the  company is serious
about being an  environmental leader, we  believe it must  go beyond current  or
proposed  regulations which reduce chlorine and use readily available technology
to eliminate the need for chlorine in paper production.
 
                      MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION
 
        THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.
 
     This resolution asks that stockholders  request the Company to establish  a
schedule   for  the   total  phase-out  of   processes  involving   the  use  of
organochlorines in its pulp and paper manufacturing processes. The Company  uses
only  two organochlorines in its manufacturing  processes, neither of which is a
pulp bleaching agent. Their  elimination would have no  effect on the  Company's
pulp bleaching processes. This is noteworthy because we have been led to believe
that what the proponent actually intended was to ask shareholders to request the
Company to establish a schedule to phase-out bleach pulp manufacturing processes
that generate organochlorines. Therefore, the remainder of this response assumes
the   proposal  really  concerns  the  Company's  pulp  bleaching  manufacturing
processes.
 
     The Company is  a world  leader in  bleaching technology.  It invented  the
C-Free'tm'  pulp bleaching process which  eliminates elemental chlorine from the
bleaching of pulp. It uses oxygen and ozone instead. The first commercial C-Free
pulp bleaching plant began operation in the Company's Franklin, Virginia mill in
1992. Using only  a small amount  of chlorine  dioxide in its  final stage,  the
process  reduces organochlorines by 99%  or more. Additionally, it significantly
reduces  other  pollutants  such  as  BOD  and  color.  Most  importantly,  this
technology  economically produces bleached pulp  with the quality and brightness
required for printing  and writing papers  -- the major  product focus of  Union
Camp's Fine Paper Division.
 
     Because  of the significant capital  costs associated with implementing new
technologies, the Company has chosen  a deliberative approach which has  enabled
it  to conduct nearly continuous  modernization programs which have successfully
balanced the costs and  risks of change with  the benefits of new  technologies.
Deciding  how  and  when  to  modernize  the  Company's  manufacturing processes
involves sophisticated technical, marketing, financial and regulatory  judgments
which a mechanistic phase-out schedule fails to consider and, accordingly, would
not, in our view, be consistent with the responsible management of the Company's
productive assets to which we are committed.
 
     Accordingly,  the  Board  of  Directors  recommends  a  vote  AGAINST  this
proposal. The accompanying proxy will be voted AGAINST the stockholder  proposal
unless a contrary specification is made. The stockholder proposal will have been
adopted if more votes are cast in favor of it than are cast against it.
 
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
     The  Board of Directors has at this time  no knowledge of any matters to be
brought before the  meeting other than  those referred to  above. The  Company's
bylaws  provide that  stockholders who  wish to  propose the  transaction of any
business at the annual meeting must give the Company's Secretary written  notice
of  such intent containing the information required by the bylaws at least sixty
(60) days in advance  of the day established  by the bylaws as  the date of  the
annual  meeting  (the last  Tuesday  in April).  However,  if any  other matters
properly come before the meeting,  it is the intention  of the persons named  in
the  accompanying form  of proxy  to vote  said proxy  in accordance  with their
judgment on such matters.

                             STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
     Any proposal of a stockholder for  presentation at the 1997 Annual  Meeting
of  the  Stockholders of  the  Company under  the  rules of  the  Securities and
Exchange Commission must be received by the Company not later than November  18,
1996 for inclusion in the Company's 1997 Proxy Statement and Proxy.
 
                                    EXPENSES
 
     All  expenses in connection  with solicitation of proxies  will be borne by
the Company. In addition  to the solicitation  of proxies by  use of the  mails,
certain directors, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit the
return   of   proxies  in   person  and   by  telephone   and  other   means  of
telecommunication. The Company  has retained  D.F. King  & Co.,  Inc., 77  Water
Street, New York, N.Y. 10005, to assist in the solicitation of proxies for which
the  Company will  pay a  fee of  $10,500 and  will reimburse  brokers and other
nominees for  their expenses  in forwarding  soliciting material  to  beneficial
owners of the stock held of record by such persons.
