Biography/History
Everett M. Webb (1898-1972) and Louise Ott Webb (1902-1981) were both members of the Class of 1924 at Washington State College. Louise earned a Secretarial Training certificate (1922), and Everett earned a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (1924) and a Master of Arts in Education (1941). Everett Webb was a member of the faculty at Washington State University from 1936 until his retirement in 1964, serving as State Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture and Education. Everett served as a faculty advisor for the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity (TKE), and worked closely with the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4-H Clubs in Washington State. Louise served as the local chapter advisor for the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority (KKG). Both Webbs were very active in the American Legion and in many civic and community organizations.
In 1971, their children, Richard E. Webb, Elizabeth Webb Clark, and Dorothy Webb Loan, established the Everett M. and Louise Ott Webb Scholarship at WSU for undergraduate students majoring in agricultural education.
