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
