Rhoda Manning
Description
Dr. Rhoda Manning was an Associate Professor of Mathematics at OSC from 1941 to 1955. She was born in 1912, in Palo Alto, California, and was the daughter of another prominent mathematician, Dr. W.A. Manning of Stanford. She was educated at Stanford, where she received her Bachelor of Arts with great distinction in 1935, her Master of Science in 1937, and her PhD. in 1941 in Mathematics and Biochemistry. She was a member of several honor societies, including Phi Beta Kappa and Pi Lambda Theta, where she was keeper of the records. For her master’s thesis, she wrote “On the Limit of the Degree of Simply Transitive Groups of Class Eighteen.” For her doctorate, she wrote “On the Derivates of the Sections of Bonded Power Series.” Before coming to OSC, she was a teaching assistant at Stanford. In 1942, after only one year of teaching, Mount Holyoke endeavored to draw Dr. Manning to join their faculty. They offered her a salary of $2,300--an increase of $400. Her head of department, Dr. W.E. Milne, recommended they match the salary offer, and wrote a letter to President Gilfillan expressing that Manning was “irreplacable,” and “the only member of the staff about whose teaching there has not been a single word of criticism.” Mount Holyoke increased their offer to $2,600, but Manning chose to remain at OSU for a lower salary. She expressed that she felt she best did her duty during the war emergency by helping to train engineers, and she felt loyal to OSU. In 1946, Dr. Manning became seriously ill. Through fall term, her father carried her course load, and she thereafter took a leave of absence for the next two terms. The next year, she requested another leave of absence for 1947-48 to pursue research in group theory under the direction of her father at Stanford. Concerned about burdening her with a heavy teaching load and reigniting her illness, her supervisors granted her request in order to ensure her recovery was stable. In 1955, Dr. Manning resigned in order to be married. She was hired at a salary of $1,900 and resigned at a salary of $5,800.

Virginia Olsen
Description
Virginia Elizabeth Olsen was a Library Circulation Assistant from 1943-45. She was born in 1915 in Portland, Oregon. She received a certification from St. Helen’s Hall Junior College in 1935, where she was the chairman of the International Relations Club, and Master of Archery. She went on to achieve her Bachelor of Arts from University of Oregon in 1937, where she worked on the staff of the class yearbook. At both these institutions, she studied English literature and history. She received her certificate of librarianship from U.C. Berkeley in 1941. Before coming to OSC, she was a high school teacher and librarian throughout Oregon for six years, but eventually decided she wanted to work with older students. She was hired as circulation assistant at a salary of $1,800. She submitted a resignation in 1945 to begin war work with the Red Cross, but soon learned that OSC was now granting leaves of absence for Red Cross work. She requested to be put on a leave of absence, instead. Although her superiors said she was “not one of the strongest staff members,” they felt she did very well working face-to-face with users of the library, and granted this request. Olsen was part of the Library Association of Portland, the Women's Faculty Club, and the Episcopal Church. She attended the National Convention of Pi Lambda Theta in 1937, and traveled throughout Central and Western Canada.
