1868 Society
The 1868 Society
The 1868 Society was named for the year in which the legislature passed OSU's charter, creating Oregon's first state-supported college. By making substantial contributions over time, members of the 1868 Society carry on OSU's proud legacy and help ensure an outstanding future for the university.
