Description

A photograph of a Pacific University student surrounded by her fellow students before she leaves for Alaska. The caption with the photograph identifies the student leaving as Alice Bollinger. Other students identified are Beth Potwin, Irene Bilbrey, Sadie McCoy and Greta McIntyre Sheeley. 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. The student body was almost entirely made up of women. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Greta McIntyre Sheeley, a 1920 Pacific University graduate.
