Biographical Note:
Born in Portland, Oregon in 1902, Alice Kathryn Kidder attended Oregon
Agricultural College in 1920. Graduating in 1924, Kidder taught elementary
school in Ashland for a year before moving to California, where she continued
to teach until 1952. Active in alumni affairs, Kidder was a member of the OSU
President's Club and the Council of Regents until the 1990's. Her legacy to the
University has been recognized in the establishment of the Alice Kathryn Kidder
Grand Foyer in the Valley Library. Andrew Kidder attended OAC from 1893 to 1896
and worked with the Department of Botany and Horticulture in the College
greenhouses from 1891 to 1897. In addition to Alice, Andrew also had a son, who
graduated from OAC in 1923.
This collection consists of photographs assembled by Alice Kidder Evans
and her father Andrew Kidder. The photographs are identified and some are
dated. Most of the images depict OAC buildings and students. The structures in
these photographs include Alpha Hall, Benton Hall, the greenhouse and the
Horticulture Building. The students in these images are photographed in their
cadet uniforms in formation, in front of dormitories, and engaged in
entomological fieldwork. Andrew Kidder himself is in 4 of the photographs. Five
of the images were taken by Corvallis studio photographers.
The photographs are numbered P144:01-P144:19. All of the photographs are
black & white prints: 17 mounted albumen prints, 2 photo postcards.
