SCARC: The Oregon State Memorabilia Collection: Box-Folder 30.11: Buildings - Education Hall, 1909-2007 consists of individual items of historical value such as programs, posters, brochures, clippings, buttons, pennants, stickers, and other ephemera. The Education Hall folder contains original bids and agreements for the construction of Agriculture Hall in 1902, as well as clippings from the Barometer and the Agricultural College Bulletin from 1902.
