Biographical / Historical
The University of Oregon began offering business courses in 1876 and eight years later a four-year commerce curriculum was established. Originally called the School of Commerce, it was renamed the School of Business Administration in 1920. In 1923, the University of Oregon awarded its first MBA. In 1967 the School of Business Administration became the College of Business Administration, consisting of the Undergraduate School of Business and the Graduate School of Management.
In 1989, Charles H. Lundquist funded an endowment to create the Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Oregon's College of Business. In 1993, he enhanced that initial investment, and in recognition of his generosity the college was renamed the Lundquist College of Business (LCB) in honor of Lundquist.
The LCB is housed in the Lillis complex on the UO campus.

Researchers should note that materials within a series or accession may overlap and/or relate to materials found in other accessions or initially processed materials. For example, correspondence may be found in all or only some groupings. In order to locate all relevant material within this collection, researchers may need to consult each accession.
Researchers should also note that similar materials can be arranged differently in each accession, depending on how the material is organized upon receipt or during initial processing. For instance, correspondence is one accession may be arranged alphabetically, while correspondence in another accession is arranged chronologically.
