40. Florence L. Hupprich

Florence L. Hupprich

Description: Florence L. Hupprich was an Assistant Professor of Physical Education for Women at Oregon State College from 1937 to 1958. Hupprich was born in 1901, in Highwood, Illinois. She received her bachelor’s degree in 1923 and her master’s degree in 1926 from the University of Wisconsin. She was brought on to work as an instructor in physical education in 1937. In 1944, she requested a leave of absence to pursue her Ph.D. at the University of Oregon. She was promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor in 1945. She went on to receive her Ph.D. in education from the University of Oregon in 1949. After receiving her Ph.D., Hupprich began discussing the issue of receiving tenure with the director of the Department of Physical Education for Women, Dr. Eva Seen. Hupprich was not afraid to point out the inequality of the situation to Dr. Seen. She stated that members of the Department of Physical Education for Men had already received tenure by 1949, while only two members of the Department of Education for Women had received tenure, Dr. Seen being one of those two women. Dr. Seen remained opposed to granting tenure status to her staff until 1952, when she finally began granting tenure to certain staff members. Hupprich did not receive tenure, however, and went to President A.L. Strand to discuss promotion policies. At this time, academic policy stated that those who worked at an institution of higher education for seven years were entitled to tenure. Having worked at Oregon State for thirteen years, she felt she had earned the right to tenured status. Dr. Seen did not agree with Dr. Hupprich on this issue, and she took decisive action against her. At the end of the 1952 school year, Hupprich was notified by Dr. Seen that her position with the department would be terminated the following year. Dr. Seen did not give any reason for this termination. At fifty-two years old, Hupprich worried that if she did not obtain tenure from Oregon State, her teaching career would be over. Hupprich got an attorney and requested a hearing at the Faculty Committee on Review and Appeals. Her hearing was long delayed and Hupprich was not able to gain knowledge of any claims Dr. Seen had made against her as to why she was terminated. The committee did state, however, that since she had been working at Oregon State for thirteen years, she was long overdue to receive tenured status. Hupprich wrote a letter to the American Association of University Professors explaining her situation. In this time, she was allowed to keep working at Oregon State until 1954 by President Strand. Strand was contacted by the association in 1954 to discuss a review of Hupprich’s case, particularly the cause for her termination and her contentious relationship with Dr. Seen. At this time, Dr. Seen wrote to Strand explaining Hupprich’s termination. She claimed she was not an engaging professor and did not go beyond what was required of her. However, the review revealed that Dr. Seen had some failings as an administrator. Evidence suggested the two women had been feuding as far back as 1945 over low salaries and differences in teaching methods. Hupprich was described by some students and faculty as being “too exacting and detailed with beginning students” but it was concluded that this was not enough grounds for her termination. At the same time, she was still described as “a good teacher”. Hupprich claimed Dr. Seen practiced favoritism in granting promotions and salary increases. Hupprich was also known among staff in her department to occasionally stand up to Dr. Seen’s “autocratic procedures”. There was also evidence Seen had been encouraging Hupprich to find employment elsewhere since 1945. In 1955, the American Association of University Professors concluded that Hupprich was unfairly terminated and was entitled to indefinite tenure. This was granted by President Strand. But this was not the end of her case. In 1957, the Faculty Committee on Review and Appeals reconsidered Hupprich’s case after another associate professor from the Department of Physical Education for Women, Betty Thompson, requested a hearing from the committee regarding her mistreatment. Thompson and Hupprich’s case revealed a significant problem within Oregon State’s Department of Physical Education for Women. For decades, the department had been denying older women faculty members tenure out of a rationale that an aging staff of women would be unable to meet desired performance levels. The case also revealed clear displays of favoritism by Dr. Seen in promotion decisions and salary raises. The committee found that this was an issue seemingly unique to the Department of Physical Education for Women. The committee ultimately suggested departmental reforms. Hupprich remained at Oregon State until her retirement in 1966. She returned to work part time for a few years afterwards.

41. Bertha Herse

Description: Bertha Emma Herse was a reference librarian at Oregon State College off and on, from 1910-1912, 1916-1922, and from 1924-1957. Herse was born in 1891, in West Point, Nebraska. She received a bachelor’s degree in 1910 and another in 1928 from Oregon Agricultural College, which would later become Oregon State College. She also received a Bachelor of Liberal Studies from New York State Library School in 1924. She was brought on to work at Oregon Agricultural College in 1910 as a loan desk assistant, but in 1912, she had to resign due to a serious knee injury. She returned in 1916 as a half-time library assistant, where she was in charge of book binding. In 1922, she requested a leave of absence to obtain her degree from the New York State Library School. She returned in 1924 and was appointed a Reference Librarian with an annual salary of $2,000. Herse was offered a library position at Bellingham State Normal School in 1929 at a salary of $2,500, but declined the offer to stay at OSC. This prompted the Oregon State library to request a pay raise for Herse to keep her on their faculty. Herse’s salary rose to $2,500 by the end of 1929. Herse requested a leave of absence in 1944 due to more troubles with her knee. She returned to work in 1945. Toward the end of her career with the library, Herse became the focus of resentment for some of the library faculty due to her salary. An anonymous letter written to President A.L. Strand claimed Herse was one of the best paid staff members in the library, yet contributed very little and carried few responsibilities. However, this letter did not hurt her career, and she retired in 1957. Herse spoke to President Strand about her unhappiness in the library during the last years of her service, but she also spoke fondly of notable librarians Ida Kidder and Lucy Lewis, who she worked with throughout her career.

She received her Bachelor of Science in 1906 from Pacific College, her Bachelor of Arts in 1907 from Penn College, and an Master of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley. She was head of the German Department at Pacific College from 1910-1937, until she left to spend a year of travel in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Holland. She returned to the United States too late to secure university employment, so she taught at Silverton High School, in Silverton, Oregon, for a year, until she was brought onto the OSC staff. After teaching here for eight years, Professor Lewis took a sabbatical leave to undertake graduate study at the University of Washington, with a teaching fellowship in German. This enabled her to attain her doctorate. In 1937, she was involved in a brief legal dispute. Years before, in 1932, a colleague by the name of Professor Bach became ill, and Professor Lewis took over the bulk of his classes. Later, Professor Lewis sought compensation for the extra work she undertook, and initiated a legal suit, although they ended up settling out of court. In 1950, with a peak salary of $4,600, she reached compulsory retirement age, but continued teaching half-time throughout the next year. Upon her retirement, she received Emeritus status.

87. Sara Prentiss

Description: Sara Watt Prentiss was a Professor of Child Development and Parent Education from 1930 and Head of Household Administration from 1936 until her retirement in 1952. She was born in 1886 in Sarnia Ontario, Canada. At age eight, her family moved to Tillamook County, Oregon, where her father hoped to succeed in the timber industry. After she graduated high school, she earned money teaching in schools, which put her through her first year as a pharmacy student at the University of Washington. By the end of her freshman year, “this enterprising girl” was engaged to her physiology professor, Dr. Charles W. Prentiss. They married in the spring of her sophomore year, and spent the summer visiting his family and friends in Vermont, and briefly lived in Washington D.C. In February, they moved to Chicago, where her husband began work as a professor of microscopic anatomy at Northwestern University Medical School. They had three sons, but the first passed away at 15 months. After seven years of marriage, her husband passed away in 1915 from complications from a surgery for appendicitis. Her sons, Robert and Donald, were four and two years old each at the time. She had two options: return to her parents, as she was expected to, or support her family herself. She chose the latter. Prentiss hoped that her early chemistry training might make her employable as a laboratory technician. One of her husband’s friends discouraged this, and recommended she talk with the head of the home economics department at the University of Chicago. This person strongly advised her to study home economics at OSC, although at the time Prentiss “hardly knew what home economics meant.” She decided to go to OSC, as it was close to her parents, but intended to return to Chicago to receive her Bachelor of Science. After two years and a summer session, she received a Bachelor of Science from OSC in 1917, and accepted a teaching position. Prentiss was described as someone of “dignity and poise [whose] white hair and calm, assuring personality command the respect and admiration of her many friends.” Ava B. Milam recommended her appointment to the faculty, and wrote that she considered Prentiss to be “one of the strongest graduates” of the Home Economics Department, a “woman of broad experience,” and well-suited to handle child care for the department. Prentiss taught the first course in child care ever offered at OSU--a one credit course in fall of 1917 entitled “Mothercraft,” which mostly discussed the “physical care of the child.” As demand increased, she had more opportunities to teach varied courses: on child development, behavior problems, parent education, and family relationships, occasionally making use of a nursery school laboratory. She initially taught courses concerning nutrition, but eventually devoted most of her time to the newly-established nursery school. In 1930, she was made a full professor of Child Development and Parent Education. Soon after, the National Research Council offered her a fellowship in child development. She studied at Merrill-Palmer, and the Universities of Minnesota, Chicago, and the University of California at Berkeley. In 1930, she received her master’s degree in psychology from UC Berkeley, where she was awarded a Laura Spelman Rockefeller Scholarship. She worked with UC Berkeley’s extension service, as a parent education specialist from 1934-36. In 1936, she returned to OSC to become head of the Department of Household Administration. She reached retirement age in 1951, but they retained her on a part-time basis for the summer session, in order to teach seminar readings in Child Development and Family Relationships. Upon her retirement, she was given Emeritus status. Upon her first hire, she made $810 fro a 10 month term, and upon her retirement in 1951 she was earning $7000 a year. As for her sons, Robert graduated OSC in 1932 with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in the field of entomology. He was a member of the “record-beating relay hurdle team in his senior year,” and after completing graduate school, lived in Salem with two children. Donald attended OSC for three years as a science major and member of Phi Kappa Phi, and thereafter attended the University of Oregon Medical School in Portland. Both had two sons, but Donald passed away shortly before Prentiss’ retirement. She took in his children until her daughter-in-law, Marion, finished her education. She died at age 68 on August 1st, 1954. She co-authored an article titled “the Observation of Food Habits in Young Children” with Dr. Mary C Jones, which was published in the seventh volume of Childhood Education. She was a member of numerous learned societies, including Phi Kappa Phi, the Society for Research in Child Development, and the American Association of University Professors. As a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, she was nominated for a Women of Achievement award in 1956. She was also a member of the Presbyterian church.

She also had experience as a Director of the Rural Recreation Institute, the Director of City Recreation, the Director of Daily Vacation Bible School, and a camp counselor. She was hired to OSC in 1935 as Department Head at $3500 for a ten month term. She was recommended by Wisconsin colleagues which described her as a woman of “delightful personality, high standards and ideals,” who did not smoke or drink. She was described as “peculiarly qualified” to join Oregon State. She was awarded indefinite tenure in 1939. In her career, she published a number of articles in various journals, on subjects such as “Physical Education in the Elementary Grades,” and “Co-recreation Planning.” She was a member of numerous professional societies and honoraries, including the American Association for Health, P.E., and Recreation (serving as vice-president and president-elect of the Northwest Section) and the Oregon State Education Association. She was President of the Oregon State Association for Health, P.E., and Recreation, and vice-president of the Wisconsin P.E. Association. She took sabbatical from October 1941 to January 1942 in order to travel and observe college programs in health and physical education, with full salary. She took another sabbatical leave from March-June 1952, in order to travel and visit professional schools of physical education. She took additional sabbatical leave from March--June 1961 for the purpose of travel and studying other universities, as well as new procedures in major programs for professional preparation of teachers, on full salary. She served on the Board of Trustees at the Good Samaritan Hospital. She was a member of the Federated Church. She retired in 1963, at which point she was earning $13,200 at professor rank.

Description: Jocelyn Rea Skinner was an instructor in Household Administration from 1946 to 1949. She was born Jocelyn Ann Rea in 1917 in Toronto, Canada. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from the University of Toronto in 1938, and her Master of Arts in Psychology, with a special emphasis on child psychology, from the same institution in 1940. Her thesis for her master’s degree was titled “A systematic analysis of the content of the children’s stories.” Before coming to OSC, she worked as Acting Director of Mary B. Eyre Nursery School at Scripps College. She also had experience as a supervisor at other nursery schools throughout Ontario, and had served as a director of a wartime day nursery. She worked as a camp counselor for four summers. When Wartime Programme was started in Ontario, she was chosen to open the first school as a “demonstration school for the province.” She had complete responsibility to plan and organize this project, ad went on to train and supervise staff in 28 schools. Dean Milam interviewed her in Los Angeles and recommended her for the appointment. She was hired at $2600 for a ten month term. On December 17, 1948, she married Charles S. Skinner, a graduate assistant in Biology with the Botany Department. She resigned in 1949, as her husband's work needed them to move out of Oregon. She was a member of Alpha Phi Sorority and the American Camping Association.

Description: Ethel Allen worked as an assistant professor and assistant editor at Oregon State’s publications office from 1917 to 1948 and then from 1950 to 1955. She received her undergraduate education from Oregon Agricultural College in 1916. Initially, she worked in the library, but was promoted to Assistant in Office Publications in 1923 and in 1931 she was promoted to Assistant Editor of Publications. She was born in 1883, in Rickreall, Oregon. Before working at OSU, she was a rural school teacher, and taught in Independence, Oregon. Her annual salary was $2200. Before she retired, she made $2600. She was a member of the Business and Professional Women’s Club. After working at OSU for 20 years, she took sabbatical leave in 1937. Ethel Allen came to OSU because there was a shortage of staff in the library, as one of the employees was helping an ailing mother and was getting engaged, which meant she would not be working anymore. Allen was hired onto the library staff, working seven hours a day for $38 a month. She initially made about $600 a year. Ida Kidder wrote a letter to President Kerr in 1917 to ask for a rise in the wages of her library staff, pointing to the rise in living expenses, and recommended that Allen’s wages be raised to $720 a year. Kerr granted the salary increase. She retired in 1948, but came back in 1950 to work part time. Her previously held position was difficult to fill, as women often left to have babies, get married, or they found a better-paying job. Initially, she was only supposed to work for a year, but the rate of turnover for female staff was so great that she stayed on until 1955. Other faculty frequently said she was extremely skilled and experienced.
