A School for the People tells the story of OSU's nearly 150 years
as a land grant institution through more than 500 photographs,
maps, documents, and extensive captions. In-depth chapters focus on
themes such as campus development, the growth of academics, the
evolution of research as a major focus of the university, campus
life and organizations, and, of course, athletics. A capsule
history includes many of the iconic photographs associated with the
university. As one of the first colleges and universities to offer
photography as part of its curriculum in the early 1890s, OSU is
well documented visually. Most of those photographic treasures have
made their way into the holdings of the Special Collections&
Archives Research Center at OSU's Valley Library. Gleaned from
hundreds of thousands of images at the Center, many of the photos
included here have never before been seen by the general public.
Written by a longtime archivist at OSU's Special Collections &
Archives Research Center, A School for the People tells the full,
dynamic story of this multi-faceted and living university,
documenting the inevitable ups and downs of the institution.
Overflowing with visual riches, it will appeal to OSU alumni,
faculty and staff, and anyone with an interest in the history of
higher education in Oregon or land grant institutions generally
