Class on the lawn at Pacific University
Title
Class on the lawn at Pacific University
Description
Sepia-toned image of a group of students on the grounds of Pacific University, grouped around a large stump. The petrified wood stump was put in place by the class of 1897 and marked the location of the first building at Pacific University, a log cabin. Most likely this photograph was taken of the class of 1897 at the stump's dedication ceremony. Pacific University was founded in 1849 as Tualatin Academy and is one of the oldest educational institutions in the western United States. The stump is still in place on the University campus in Forest Grove.
