The Alumni Association Records document
the alumni of Oregon State University and the Association's
administration, programs and activities, and publications. An alumni
organization was established at Corvallis College (now Oregon State
University) in 1873.
Materials in English.
Historical Note:
The Alumni Association was founded in February 1873 and the first
permananent officers were chosen in June of that year: Hugh M. Finley,
President; George F. Burkhart, Vice President; W.F. Herrin, Secretary; and
Oscar L. Ison, Treasurer. A list of "Alumni et Alumnae" and current
addresses was included in each edition of the college catalogue. In 1914 a
formal constitution was adopted that provided for a five-member board.
E.B. Lemon became the first regular alumni secretary in 1915 and started
the alumni magazine, the
OAC Alumnus. In 1926, the alumni magazine
became the Oregon State Monthly; it was
renamed the Oregon Stater in 1940 and has
retained that title since.
In 1929, the alumni office was moved from the Commerce Building to the
newly completed Memorial Union. The CH2M Hill Alumni Center was completed
on campus in 1997; it was built as a conference and meeting center and as
the home of OSU Alumni Association events and administrative offices.
The Alumni Association has been lead by several Alumni Secretaries and
Executive Directors, including Godfrey Hoerner, 1919-1921; Zelta Feike
Rodenwold, 1921-1926; E.C. Allworth, 1926-1936; George T. Scott,
1936-1938; Warren Reid, 1938-1943; Eunice Courtright, 1943-1946; John
Fenner, 1946-1948; Robert Knoll, 1948-1961; Crawford H. ("Scram") Graham,
1961-1978; Donald S. Wirth, 1978-1999; Stephen Smith, 1999-2000; Dwayne
Foley, 2000-2004; and Jeffrey S. Todd, beginning in 2004.
The Alumni Association Records document the alumni of Oregon State
University and the Association's administration and activities, and
publications. The collection includes the records of individual graduating
classes documenting activities during their student years as well as
reunions and other special events after graduation. Lists of alumni and
alumni directories are part of the collection. Subject files pertaining to
notable alumni; faculty, staff, and friends of OSU; special events; and
other university-related topics comprise a large component of the
collection. The records of special events such as homecoming, class
reunions, and the centennial of Oregon State University as well as
fundraising for special projects such as a new football stadium and the
carillon for the Memorial Union are included in the records. The
collection includes extensive materials documenting the Association's
publications - the alumni magazine, the
Orange and Black, alumni directories, and
sets of sound recordings of Oregon State songs. The collection also
includes sound recordings by Bob Eberhard of Oregon State basketball games
(in about 1957); a speech by Fred Shideler about the value of OSU to the
Corvallis community; and an interview with Dan Poling about Corvallis and
Oregon State College during World War II.
