The 1908 Beavers - Part 2
A while back I mentioned that I found the earliest known reference to the "Beavers" in an athletic context, in relation to Oregon State University.
I have been spending the occasional afternoon at the Athletic Department going over old records in their "archive," and while there I told my contact in the department that I could scan the references in question. Having now scanned the images and having sent them off, I figured I would also post them here in a public debut of the very first known documentation of "Beaver" relating to OSU. Both come from the Barometer, the school's newspaper, and both printed on November 9, 1908.
