Title: Alumni preparing a time capsule during their 1993 Reunion
Description: Alumni and others connected to Pacific University, participating in the creation of a Time Capsule on October 23, 1993. (For a related image that shows the time capsule, see PUA_PeoSlides_574.) The man wearing a "Pacific" sweater on the right is probably University President Robert Duvall. 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."
