OBITUARY:
Mrs. Clara Waldo Dies.
Oregon State College Ex-Regent Passes at Ojai. Funeral Services to Be Held in California, With Burial in Salem;
Daughter Survives.
Mrs. Clara Humason Waldo, 74, ex-regent of Oregon State college, died at Ojai, California, February 13, according to the information received here yesterday by friends. Funeral services will be at Ojai and interment will be at Salem at a date to be set later. Mrs. Waldo was born in The Dalles, Oregon, May 23, 1858. In 1877 she married the late John B. Waldo, widely known pioneer of Oregon and judge of the Oregon supreme court. She attended St. Helen's Hall in Portland. Grange problems interested Mrs. Waldo and in the early part of this century she served as a lecturer for the Oregon state grange, visiting many sections of the state. She became interested in educational developments and in 1906 was named on the board of regents of Oregon State college, the first woman to be named on the board of regents of a state institution of higher learning. Because of failing health, she resigned from the board April 4, 1919, and left for California soon after. "I regret very much to lose Mrs. Waldo, as she has been broad-minded, fair and able in the consideration she has given to the affairs of the college," Governor Olcott said then of her work. "She has always shown that she had the best welfare of the school at heart and had contributed not only her own time, but liberally of her finances to the institution she has loved." Waldo Hall, one of the principal buildings on the campus at Corvallis, was named in her honor. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Folger Johnson, Portland.
