I John Inskeep ELC
The Environmental Learning
Center was named after an area
“pioneer.” John Inskeep was the
county extension person in Clacka
mas County. The extension pro
gram was supervised by Oregon
State University. As a member of
the program, Inskeep offered serv
ices to area farmers. Known as
“Agent Inskeep” to the farming
community, Inskeep gave advice
on soil cultivation, fertility and
erosion.
In honor of Inskeep, the staff
at the Environmental Learning
Center chose to name the center the
John Inskeep Environmental
Learning Center.
Eva Dye Learning
I Resource Center
The Eva Dye Learning Re
source Center was named after an
early Oregon pioneer actively in
volved in education. Dye and her
husband Charles arrived in Oregon
City in 1890. In 1903, she organ
ized the Oregon City Women’s
Club. In die 1920’s, Dye was the
leading force in the establishment
of the first public library in Clacka
mas County. Dye initiated the
Chautaqua program, which was
celebrated in Gladstone. The pro
gram was cultural, educational and
entertaining.
During the
Chautaqua program, Dye taught
classes in literature.
In addition to promoting the
progress of Oregon City, Dye also
published several historical fiction
books—including one about the
Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The building, upon comple
tion, will house the library, the
audio-visual department and the
learning center. Hooley, who was
on the committee to name the
building along with Instructor Don
Epstein and Fred DeWolfe, Social
Science department chair, added,

to stick to the general theme of
Oregon pioneers”
