Description

A photograph of Henry Liberty Bates with a group of students on at a picnic. Henry Liberty Bates was a beloved professor at Pacific University where he taught Education and Philosophy. He served as the last principal of the Tualatin Academy before it closed in 1915. During this time period many men from Pacific University were enlisted in military service as the United States entered World War I in April, 1917.
