A Pacific University student wearing a tie, shorts and sandals but no shirt, standing on a table to protest the dress code, surrounded by other students. Some of the other students are also protesting: one woman, identified as Laurie Collins, wears a placard that reads: "We protest." Others are either observing or opposing the protest. This photograph appears to have been staged in order to dramatize the protest, possibly for use in a publication. A stamp on the verso identifies it as having been created by Pacific's Office of Public Information (i.e. its publicity department). It appears to have been taken in a student lounge, possibly in McCormick Hall.
The photograph likely dates from circa March 1967. In that month, about 150 male students conducted a sit-in demonstration against Pacific's dinner dress code, which required "all men to wear a jacket and tie to dinner and women to wear either a dress or skirt as well as heels twice a week" (The Index, Mar. 6, 1967). This is one of several photographs that were taken on the same occasion; see also PUApic_015907 and PUApic_015908.
A pair of Pacific University students staging a protest against the university's dress code (right), while another pair of students opposes them (left). The woman on the right, Laurie Collins, wears clothes that conformed to the dress code, but she has added a placard that reads "We protest". The man on the right wears shorts, a shirt and sandals without a jacket or tie, which would not have conformed to the dress code. This photograph appears to have been staged in order to dramatize the protest, possibly for use in a publication. A stamp on the verso identifies it as having been created by Pacific's Office of Public Information (i.e. its publicity department). It was taken on Pacific's campus near Marsh Hall.

A pamphlet issued in December 1916 by the "Albany College Bulletin" (Vol. 51: No. 2) criticizing a proposed merger between Albany College, which was later renamed Lewis & Clark College, and Pacific University, both located in Oregon.
The proposal called for closing Albany's campus and moving its students and equipment to Pacific's campus in Forest Grove. The authors of the pamphlet argue against the merger, citing differences in religious affiliation as one of their top concerns, with additional points against Pacific's location and facilities also being listed. Although the Bulletin's masthead notes that it was published "by the Board of Trustees" of Albany, based on context, it is likely that the authors of this text were Albany students and/or faculty.
This merger ultimately failed, but Albany College did leave its original campus, moving to Portland between 1934-38. Albany College was renamed Lewis & Clark College in 1942. It should be noted that several claims concerning Pacific's religious affiliation within this text were incorrect; while Pacific was founded by Congregationalists, it had never been under the formal control of a denominational board, and had held "unsectarian" values for recruitment of students since the tenure of its first president, Sidney Harper Marsh.
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.
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 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.
Pacific University alumni identified some of those in this photograph as: Aimee Wourms Sargent (Class of 1993), with side ponytail; Bill James (Class of 1992), “squatting opposite Aimee”; Shelby Wickhorst (Class of 1991, OD 1999) “squatting on the top of the sign”; Jason Peterson (Class of 1993), "sitting on the sign"; James Scoggins (Class of 1993) “to [Jason’s] left, in grey”; Heather Tiedtka Hatton (Class of 1992), with red hair.
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.
