Crowd on Southwest corner of Pacific University Campus

Title

Crowd on Southwest corner of Pacific University Campus

Description

A crowd of people, probably including students and faculty, gathering near the southwest corner of Pacific University's campus. They are standing near where the Oregon Electric Railway (which operated in Forest Grove from 1908-1932) tracks formerly crossed the campus, at what is now the corner of Cedar Street and Pacific Avenue. The crowd was probably waiting for a train to arrive, perhaps in order to welcome a returning Pacific University sports or debating team. Drakes' Garage and several parked cars and trucks appear in the background. This photograph was likely taken in the late 1920s.
