Clinton visited OSU to campaign for the re-election of her husband, president Bill Clinton, just days before the 1996 general election. Speaking to a crowd of about 3,500 people in front of the Women's Building, Clinton spoke on several topics, including the president's plans for higher education. On the stage to Clinton's left are U.S. senator Ron Wyden, Corvallis mayor Helen Berg, OSU president Paul Risser, and U.S. representative Earl Blumenauer.
