Title
Phi Alpha Tau Fraternity
Description
A photograph of the members of the Pacific University chapter of the Phi Alpha Tau fraternity. Phi Alpha Tau was an honorary fraternity "developed to the interest and development of the public speaking arts" for students "having represented the college in debate, oratory or dramatics."
This image probably depicts the founding members of the chapter in spring 1914 or shortly thereafter. A Pacific University Index student newspaper article published on January 27, 1914, identified the charter student members as: Alva Philip Patten, Ivan Donaldson, Clinton Edgar Ostrander, Charles Lachan McNeil, and Howard Rice Taylor; and charter faculty members President Charles J. Bushnell, Professor William Martin Proctor and Professor William Grueby Harrington. President Bushnell appears in the front row, second from the left. Professor Proctor is in the first row, third from left.
Bushnell was the President of Pacific University from 1913-1918. This photograph is a part of Charles J. Bushnell Collection in the Pacific University Archives (RG.3.106). A mechanical reproduction of this photograph can be found in the Pacific University Archives, image number PUA_MS11_092.
