- MODS Note
- Alice Eudorah Biddle (Mooreland), born in Corvallis, Oregon in 1854, was the first woman graduate of Oregon State University, completing her four-year curriculum and degree in just over three years. She was class valedictorian with perfect grades and perfect attendance. She graduated at age 16 and was known as Corvallis' most intelligent young woman. She was the daughter of one of Benton County's wealthiest families and married college professor William Walter Moreland. In the mid-1870's she and her husband moved to Oregon City and later to California, where Mr. Moreland became a prominent attorney. In 1975, Alice Biddle organized the first alumni reunion in OSU school history. Her statue sits today just to the east of the Memorial Union and is a favorite meeting and resting spot for students and faculty. (selected information contained in OAC Collection materials)
