William Jasper Kerr
William Jasper Kerr (1863 - 1947) was an American academic in the states of Oregon and Utah. A native of Utah, he served as president of Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University), Brigham Young College (not to be confused with Brigham Young University), and Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University). He later served as the first chancellor of what became the Oregon University System. The administration building at Oregon State University is named in his honor.
==Early life and education==
Kerr was born on November 17, 1863, in Richmond in the then Utah Territory. He received a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Utah in 1885.〔 He planned to study law, and turned down appointment to West Point in order to go into law, but never did go into the profession.〔 He married Leonora Hamilton in 1885, and had four daughters and two sons.〔〔
When he was 21 years old he worked as a manager for a mercantile company before entering the teaching profession as a teacher in Smith, Utah.〔 Raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) during the time when plural marriage (polygamy) was taught and practiced, Kerr later married a second wife, a schoolteacher in Smithfield, Utah. After the church renounced the practice, Kerr divorced his second wife in 1898. The emotional impact caused Kerr and his wives to leave the LDS Church.〔 Kerr served as a delegate to the Utah's constitutional conventions in both 1887 and 1895.〔 He also studied at Cornell University in New York.〔
