Pacific University Students Dressed Like Hobos on Clean-Up Day
Description
A photograph of three male Pacfic University students that are dressed like hobos for Clean-Up Day in 1917. All three students are holding rakes. The caption on the photo identifies the students as Hershel Obye, Thomas Fowler and Hugh Smith. 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.
