Description: Ramona E. Berry was an Assistant Professor in History from 1947 to 1951. Berry was born in 1902, in Butte, Montana. She received her undergraduate education from Washington College of Education from 1919 to 1921, and received her A.B. in 1939 and M.A. in 1944 from the University of California. Her thesis was on “Franco-Russian Rapprochement, 1778-1783”. She had previously been an instructor of European and U.S. history at Lassen Junior College, a teaching assistant at the University of California, and a high school social studies teacher. She was hired by Oregon State at an annual salary of $3,000 a year. During this time, employees at Oregon State College were asked to list a relative, spouse, or in rare cases, a close friend as their beneficiary. Berry instead listed her estate as her beneficiary. She gave her resignation letter in 1951 to “devote more time to research and family”.
