Pacific University President James Miller (center), with two men who were probably Pacific University trustees or faculty named Charles and George, in Marsh Hall. Based on another image from the same event (PUA_PeoSlides_398), they were at a small reception celebrating the two men's service to the University. They are holding objects which may be wall clocks or plaques. This photograph was likely taken between 1977 (when renovations to Marsh Hall after a fire were completed) and 1983 (the last year of President Miller's administration).

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.

The original image was very dark, and was digitally lightened in order to be visible.
