A photograph of attendees wearing redface while in line for a buffet at a Pacific University alumni dinner, held between 1957-1959. There were at least two alumni dinners held during this time period, which were advertised under the title, "Pow-Wow Dinner." The event did not actually include Native Americans. From photographs, it appears to have included: white performers dressed in wigs, makeup and costumes (similar to the two who appear in this image) performing a fake "pow-wow" dance; university officials wearing Native-style chieftain headdresses; attendees being given headbands with feathers to wear; and decorations mimicking a forest setting. This took place in Pacific University's Old Gymnasium.
Five men and one woman, all appearing to around age 70, posing for a snapshot with Pacific University's original Boxer statue. The people, all of whom are wearing Boxer-themed name tags, are likely Pacific University alumni or trustees. The statue would later become the mascot of the university. This photograph, which appears to date from around 1950-1960, may have been taken at a 50th Reunion celebration.
An early photo of the Pacific University campus featuring Academy Hall and Marsh Hall. Academy Hall was the second building built on the Pacific University campus in 1864 and burned down in 1910. Marsh Hall was built in 1895 and was rebuilt in the 1970s after a large fire.
A group of nine female Pacific University students in dance costumes, forming a can-can chorus line. This photograph is dated on the verso March 4, 1978.

See photo PUApic_009316 for a different group of girls performing at the same event in the previous year.
This performance may have been a part of the annual "Gay Nineties" celebration in Forest Grove.
