Lois Bates Acheson
1915-2004
A 1937 Oregon State University alumna, Lois Bates Acheson was a long-time supporter of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Her gift of $21 million created a substantial endowment for veterinary medicine and funded its first endowed position, the deanship. In honor of her gift, the college has renamed the teaching hospital in memory of Lois Bates Acheson.
