Historical Note
Wilfrid William Waters was born 3 December 1892 in Hillsboro, Oregon. Waters moved to Nezperce, Idaho and called that home for the rest of his life. He attended the University of Idaho from 1911-1915, graduating with a bachelor of science in Agriculture. Wilfrid was a member of the Alpha Kappa Epsilon fraternity, which became Phi Gamma Delta shortly after he graduated. Wilfrid went back to be initiated and was a lifelong member of the "Fiji" house.
He married Effie Jolly in 1917. They had two children, Wilfrid Jr. and Margaret Nell. The collection was donated by Margaret Nell Longeteig, shortly after William passed away in 1972.
