A group of Pacific University students studying in the lobby of the university's Carnegie Hall. The main entrance to the building is visible in the background. The original slide is marked "Phil Schofield Photo," most likely referring to the name of the photographer. It appears to date from the mid-1990s.
Pacific University Professor David Boersema, who taught philosophy, meeting with students in an office on campus. They appear to be on the second floor of Drake House, where the Philosophy Department was headquartered. This photograph was likely posed and intended to be used in marketing for the university.

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. Very likely, this photograph was taken during the Tom McCall Forum, an annual political debate featuring prominent guest speakers which was hosted by Pacific University. 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.

A group of Pacific University students posing by the west entrance to Marsh Hall, next to what appears to be a new sign that reads, "Welcome to Pacific / Marsh Hall." This was likely taken by a staff photographer for marketing purposes. The original slide was printed in February, 1991.
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.

A woman, most likely a Pacific University student, runs to avoid the water from a sprinkler on the university's campus, while holding textbooks in her arms. The edge of Washburne Hall is visible in the background, along with a line of trees known as the "Birch Walk." The original slide was printed in June, 1989.
A group of four male Pacific University students, sitting in Trombley Square with Marsh Hall in the background. This photograph was likely taken by a staff photographer and may have been used for marketing purposes. The original slide is labeled, "Big Ideas," perhaps suggesting that this image was intended to illustrate how students talk and learn at the university. The photograph is undated; it may be from circa 1987-1993, based on their clothing.
Pacific University's President Faith Gabelnick in full academic regalia, surrounded by Pacific University students all wearing red, during her Inauguration on September 24, 1995. Gabelnick was Pacific's first woman president, serving from 1995-2003. In this photograph, she is wearing the President's medal with the seal of the university, and what appears to be a maile-style lei (though it might be made with oak or laurel leaves); this may have been a nod to Pacific's Hawaiian student community, and/or to Pacific's traditions honoring the oaks on campus. They are standing on the steps of Marsh Hall. This image was used on the cover of Pacific's Alumni Magazine in the Fall 1995 issue.
