1868 Society

The 1868 Society

The memorial union is on the lefthand side with trees and the grass of the quad filling the frame.

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. Levels within the 1868 Society recognize these donors’ substantial lifetime commitment to Oregon State University. Each level is named for a key figure in OSU's history.
