Oregon State Housemothers, ca. 1950. Greek houses and housing co-operatives employed housemothers, who served “in loco parentis” for those living groups, acting as administrator, supervisor, social coordinator, and sometime confidante. One of the most famous housemothers affiliated with Oregon State was Florence Kincaid Naismith, widow of James Naismith, who is credited with inventing the game of basketball in 1892. She served as housemother for the Delta Delta Delta sorority from 1941 to 1947. Housemothers also had their own organization – the Resident Hostess Club of Oregon State College. It was created in 1948, and the members met monthly to discuss common issues and problems at the living groups, and to plan social events for the residents. The club had a close connection with the Dean of Women. The club disbanded about 1968. (P25:2715)
