Title

Pacific University Student Leslie Webb Dressed Up for Clean-Up Day on Wood Plank Walkway

Description

A photograph of a Pacific University student dressed up for Clean-Up Day in 1917. The student is dressed like a hobo, wearing oversided gloves and a floppy hat. He is standing on a wood plank walkway that ran throughout campus. The caption with the photograph identifies the student as Leslie Webb. 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.
