A group of Pacific University alumni in October 1979, standing near Clark Hall. All of the men are older and most are wearing special, oversized name tags. They were likely attending the annual Reunion which took place on Homecoming weekend. They are standing on the west side of what was then the football field; they may have been former Pacific football team members. Alternatively, they may have been members of the Class of 1929, who would have celebrated their 50th Reunion that year.
Attendees at a reception for Pacific University alumni in October 1979, probably held during Homecoming weekend. The man in pale yellow is Douglas Stewart (Class of 1961).
