Scope and Contents
Oregon State Senator, 1900 to 1908, Robert Asbury Booth served as a member of the Board of Trustees for Willamette University and was a major contributor to the endowment campaign. Booth also provided funding to bring Francis Hoyt, the first president of Willamette University, to give the 1911 commencement address.
