A 1994 portrait of A. E. "Gene" Brim, Chairman and CEO of Brim, Inc., a healthcare administration company. Brim was serving as Pacific University's Chair of the Board of Trustees at the time this photograph was taken. He is wearing a tie with tiny gold "qilin" on it; a reference to Pacific University's qilin mascot, "Boxer." A version of this image was published on the cover of the Fall 1994 issue of Pacific's Alumni Magazine. The caption provided there states, "Trustee Board Chairman A.E.

Pacific University's President Robert F. Duvall (left), with three other people who may be faculty or guests of the university, in 1994. They appear to be standing in the lobby of the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

The 1994 Tom McCall Forum was held on Feb. 27 at the Schnitzer. The debaters, John Sununu and Pierre Salinger, do not appear to be in this photograph.
Alumni and/or staff of Pacific University, participating in the creation of a Time Capsule on October 23, 1993. They are placing copies of newspapers and magazines into a cement box. (For a related image taken at the same event, see PUA_PeoSlides_573.) This event was part of Pacific's 1993 Homecoming and Reunion. Two time capsule events were listed on the event schedule that year: this images relates either to the "0 year" time capsule, or the Class of 1968's 25-year capsule. It is unclear where the time capsule was to be placed. They are standing just east of Marsh Hall; Taylor-Meade Performing Arts Center appears directly behind them.
Per Pacific's Alumni Department, the time capsules buried that year were removed from the ground sometime prior to 2006, possibly due to the construction of Tran Library, which was nearby. "They were then stored in the basement at Abbott Alumni Center. Both were opened in 2018 and the contents given to the Archives, though much of the 1968 time capsule was destroyed beyond hope by mildew/mold."

A woman, most likely a Pacific University alumna, standing near Pacific's "Spirit Bench" while holding cans of spray paint in her hands. In a tradition that began in the 1970s or possibly earlier, students have been allowed to paint the bench as they wished. The woman appears to have just painted the bench with the words, "Alumni Spirit Bench". Notably, the bench does not have many layers of paint on it, appearing to be nearly bare concrete. This photograph was probably taken soon after the original bench (which was damaged circa 1990), was replaced. The original slide was printed in November 1991; it was likely taken during Reunion of that year, which would have been in October.
Pacific University students relaxing on benches, during what appears to be a hot day. All are wearing shorts and one is drinking from a water bottle. This photograph was likely taken by a staff photographer, possibly for marketing purposes. The original slide was printed in April, 1990.
