Students Bessie Smith and Greta McIntyre Sheeley From the Cast of Pygmalion and Galatea with their Coach, Professor Anna Bagstaad

Description

A photograph of two Pacific University students with Professor Anna Bagstaad, dressed in costume for the Pacific University play Pygmalion and Galatea in 1919. Marsh Hall and Old College Hall are visible in the background. The caption with the photograph identifies the students as Bessie Smith and Greta McIntyre Sheeley with their professor, Anna Bagstaad. Professor Bagstaad taught Modern Languages and Public Speaking at Pacific University. The Philomathean Society of Pacific University put on the production in an effort to support two French orphans. The play was performed in Marsh Hall on April 10th, 1919. The Philomathean Society at Pacific University was founded in 1871. They believe they are the oldest sorority west of the Mississippi. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Greta McIntyre Sheeley, a 1920 Pacific University graduate.
