Pacific University Students Beth Potwin and Mamie Loomis Dressed Like Men for Clean-Up Day

Description

A photograph of two female Pacific University students dressed like men for Clean-Up day in 1917. The caption of the photograph identifies them as Beth Potwin and Mamie Loomis. Clean-Up Day was a long-held tradition at Pacific University. One day a year in late fall, students and staff would gather at Marsh Hall before repairing and beautifying the campus. Students would often dress as hobos, farmers or cross-dress. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Greta McIntyre Sheeley, a 1920 Pacific University graduate.
