Title

President Robert F. Clark, Professor Henry Liberty Bates and Students Posing with Rakes on Clean-up Day

Description

A photograph with Pacific University president, Robert F. Clark, Professor Henry Liberty Bates and several students on Clean-up Day. The group is posing on the steps of Marsh Hall in 1917. 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.
