· Here’s today’s OSU fact in honor of Women’s History Month: Nettie Spencer was born near Corvallis in 1861 to Oregon pioneer parents. She graduated from Corvallis College in 1882, and spent the next several years teaching and studying at various places in the U.S. and abroad, including Portland, Davenport College (North Carolina), Berlin, Paris, London and India. Spencer ran for election as superintendent of schools for Benton County in 1890, 21 years before women were allowed to vote in Oregon elections. She was narrowly defeated. Spencer returned to Oregon permanently in 1916 and taught at Eugene and Roseburg High Schools. Spencer received a masters degree in sociology from Oregon State in 1928. Spencer was a charter member of the Mazamas, a Portland mountain climbing club, and in 1935 was elected president of the Oregon State Women’s Press Club. Spencer died in Portland in 1953. JoAnne Trow will speak about the history of women at OSU on March 30, from 11:30 to 1 p.m., in La Raza Room, 208 Memorial Union.
