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.
