Students Bessie Smith and Margaret Morgan Reenacting a Scene from the Pacific University play Pygmalion and Galatea

Description

A photograph of two Pacific University students reenacting a scene from the Pacific University play Pygmalion and Galatea in 1919. Old College Hall and Marsh Hall are visible in the background. The caption identifies the students as Bessie Smith and Margaret Morgan. The Philomathean Society of Pacific University put on the production in an effort to support two French orphans. The play was performed in Marsh Hall on April 10th, 1919. The Philomathean Society at Pacific University was founded in 1871. They believe they are the oldest sorority west of the Mississippi. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Greta McIntyre Sheeley, a 1920 Pacific University graduate.
