This project was partially funded by Oregon’s State Historic Preservation Offi ce (SHPO) with a matching grant through its Certifi ed Local Government Program. Accordingly this project has, in part, been fi nanced with Federal funds through the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The contents and opinions of this document do not necessarily refl ect the views or policies of the Department of the Interior or SHPO, nor does the mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation by the Department of the Interior. Acknowledgments The Lake Oswego Modernism context statement was researched and prepared by Adrienne Donovan–Boyd a second year graduate student in the historic preservation program at the University of Oregon, under the guidance and direction of Liz Carter, Adjunct Faculty at the University of Oregon and a Historic Preservation Consultant, in conjunction with the City of Lake Oswego’s Planning Department. This document is intended to outline the broad pattern of events that shaped the Lake Oswego community during the Modern Period. This document also has begun to identify prominent architects and builders who worked in the area and the houses and buildings they designed. Many thanks to Paul Espe, Lake Oswego’s Historic Preservation Planner for his insight, enthusiasm, and guidance throughout this project.

THE QUIET BIGOTRY OF OREGON’S COMPULSORY PUBLIC EDUCATION ACT Nicole L. Mandel Dr. Karen Hoppes Hst 202 PSU March 12, 2012 THE QUIET BIGOTRY OF OREGON’S COMPULSORY PUBLIC EDUCATION ACT “Quiet” is not an adjective one necessarily associates with bigotry, especially in the case of fanatical groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. However, it is not uncommon that in order to gain wide support, a bigoted act needs to present itself more subtly. Unlike movements such as Eugenics, which used fear mongering and inflammatory language to inspire fear of the “other” in the hearts of the voters, some laws use a completely different selling approach.
