Six students dressed up for an event. The three male students are wearing Badger Knight sweaters. The Badger Knights were the Pacific University chapter of the Intercollegiate Knights, an honorary service organization that was active on campus from the late 1940s through the mid-1960s.

The three female students who are wearing corsages and flowers in their hair may be Boxerettes. This photograph was likely taken during a Badger Knight / Boxerette social event.

This photograph was likely taken around 1907, about the same time when the grandstand and Second Herrick Hall (a women's dormitory which appears in the background) were built. This field, later named McCready Field, was in use at Pacific University from the late 1890s through 1991 for football and track events, and continued to be used for soccer through the 2000s. It was partially converted to usage as tennis courts in 2009. Cascade Hall, built approximately where the grandstand formerly stood, opened in 2014.

This portrait was made at the W. H. Gilhousen studio in the Dalles, which was active between 1879-1888. It most likely dates from the 1880s.
